Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    How has timing technology made outcomes fairer?

    Model answer

    Fully automatic timing and photo-finish cameras measure results to hundredths of a second. Close finishes are decided accurately rather than by eye.

  2. 2

    How do touch pads make swimming results fairer?

    Model answer

    Touch pads at the end of each lane stop the clock when a swimmer touches. Results no longer depend on human timekeepers.

  3. 3

    How has technology increased the accountability of officials?

    Model answer

    Decisions are replayed and reviewed on camera. Officials can be assessed and held responsible for errors.

  4. 4

    What is Hawk-Eye, and how is it used in tennis?

    Model answer

    Hawk-Eye is a ball-tracking system that uses several cameras. Players can challenge line calls, and Hawk-Eye shows where the ball landed.

  5. 5

    What is goal-line technology?

    Model answer

    Goal-line technology tells the referee instantly whether the whole ball has crossed the line. The Premier League introduced it in the 2013–14 season.

  6. 6

    What is VAR?

    Model answer

    VAR is the video assistant referee, who reviews key incidents on screen. VAR was introduced to the Premier League in the 2019–20 season.
