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 (观众).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 (即时的) 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 69 victories.In the 46th match, Futabayama 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$ 375 for a ringside seat.Now cameras record the actions of the wrestlers.The camera is the most important referee of all.If a man or a woman makes a mistake in judgment, the camera will correct it, and the instant replay will let everyone know it.The right winner will win.

Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers.Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young.And going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place.It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money, In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen.If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc.All can be expensive.
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age.Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed.Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as successful sports person.It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.
