12.Many sports need the services of one or more referees(裁判).You will find,for example,referees in swimming,diving competitions,football,skating,basketball,and tennis,among others.The referee's judgment,no matter what the sport is,can make the difference between winning and losing.
When a decision is announced,one can often hear loud cheering from the spectators(觀眾).Sometimes the people don't agree with the decision.Usually,however,no matter what the people think,the decision of the judge is final.With the instant (即時的) replay television viewers often get a second chance to watch the special sports moments.Should the camera help the referees in making their decisions?Some people think so.The Japanese have been using the television instant replay in one of their sports for some time.
In Japan,where Sumo wrestling is thought by many to be the national sport,a wrestler named Taiho was trying to break Futabayama's record of 69victories.In the 46th match,F(xiàn)utabayama was declared the winner by mistake because the judges had not seen the wrestler's foot leave the circle.
Soon after the mistake,the people said that they had a right to see the match end with the correct winners since they had paid as much as $ 375for a ringside seat.Now cameras record the actions of wrestlers.The camera is the most important referee of all.If a man or a woman makes a mistake in judgments,the camera will correct it,and the instant replay will let everyone know it.The right winner will win.
