2. What should the referee say at this time?

Explanation

The referee should say "DOWN" at this time. This is because "DOWN" is commonly used in sports to indicate that a player or object should move or be positioned in a lower position. In this context, it is likely that the referee is instructing a player to lower or move a specific object, such as a weight or barbell, during a weightlifting exercise.

3. Is [ If Lifter gives up on the second or third attempt, his last successful attempt will count for him] true or false?

Explanation

If Lifter gives up on the second or third attempt, his last successful attempt will count for him. This statement is true because it implies that if Lifter fails to complete a lift on his second or third attempt, the last successful lift he made will still be considered as his final result. This means that even if he fails to lift the weight on subsequent attempts, he will still receive credit for his last successful lift.

5. Which is not an athlete's personal equipment?

Explanation

An athlete's personal equipment typically includes sportswear, t-shirts, and socks, as these items are essential for their performance and comfort during sports activities. However, a wristwatch is not considered a necessary piece of equipment for athletes as it does not directly contribute to their performance or safety. While some athletes may choose to wear a wristwatch for personal reasons, it is not a standard or essential piece of equipment in the same way as sportswear or socks.

Submit
6. Is [The first and heaviest discs loaded on the bar must be loaded face in ] true or false?

Explanation

The statement is true because when loading discs on a bar, it is recommended to place the first and heaviest discs with their face in.

By loading the discs face in, the center of gravity is closer to the bar, reducing the risk of the discs falling off or causing the bar to tip over.

By considering both weight and age, powerlifting competitions aim to provide a fair and balanced environment for all participants.

Submit
