Curious how dressage horses are transported overseas. Obviously a plane, but like … how?
很猎奇艳服舞步比赛的赛马是怎样被运到外洋的。固然经过飞机，但是怎样做到的呢？
Horses are loaded in two per stall. They fly with a staff of vets and groomers who, among other things, try to make sure they stay calm. Stallions travel at the front of the plane so that they’re not distracted by the mares. And just like people, they need passports.每个隔间装两匹马，有一队兽医和豢养员偕行，他们卖力照顾马匹，并积极让马匹坚持冷静。公马在飞机前部飞行，如此它们就不会被母马分神。和人一样，马也必要护照。
Note：Stallion 公马，种马

Why do divers immediately hit the shower as soon as they’re out of the pool?
为什么跳水运倡导一出游泳池就立刻去淋浴？
The pool is cold and can cause their muscles to cramp. The warm water of the shower helps keep the muscles loose. That’s also why you’re increasingly seeing divers sitting in a hot tub between dives.游泳池很冷，会让运倡导肌肉抽筋。温水淋浴有助于坚持肌肉轻松。这也是越来越多的跳水运倡导在每跳之间坐在热水浴缸里的缘故。

How are lanes assigned in Olympic swimming?
奥运会游泳比赛是怎样分派泳道的？
A swimmer ends up in a particular lane depending on their qualifying time. The fastest gets the center lane. Lanes 3 and 5 go to the next fastest. That, according to the explanation here, is why you’ll often find the gold-medal favorite in Lane 4.一名游泳运倡导终极在哪条泳道比赛取决于他们在排位赛比赛成果。排名第一的运倡导在正中泳道。排在第3道和第5道的是紧随自后的运倡导。这就是为什么第四道的选手常常会拿到冠军。
Why do we hear whistling throughout some swim events?
为什么我们在一些游泳项目中听到口哨声？
The whistles are how coaches communicate with the swimmers. The Focusdid a really interesting piece about it, where the piece broke down the different kinds of whistles. Basically, the whistles signal to the swimmers “where they stand in the race and what to do.”
哨声是教练与游泳运倡导相反的办法。《核心》做了一篇十分幽默的文章，对不同典范的口哨举行剖析。通常，口哨是向运倡导发射信号，报告“他们在比赛中的地点以及该做什么”。

Why do gymnasts rub that white powder on their hands before a routine?
为什么体操运倡导在每次比赛前要在手上抹白色粉末？
It absorbs the sweat off their hands, helps them keep a better grip on the parallel bars and decreases the friction between the hands and the bars.这种粉末能吸取运发入手上的汗水，协助他们更好地抓握双杠，变小手与杠之间的摩擦。
Why does everyone keep referring to these 2021 Games as “Tokyo 2020”?
为什么各位都把2021年奥运会称为“东京2020”？
That’s what the IOC decided when it announced the postponement last year. Part of the reason: money. “Torches, medals, other branding items and merchandise were already being made using the name ‘Tokyo 2020,’ and a name change would have meant additional costs,” a Tokyo organizing committee source told Yahoo Sports.这是国际奥委会在客岁公布延期时做出的决定。局部缘故是：钱。东京奥组委的一位消息人士报告雅虎体育：“火把、奖牌、其他品牌物品和商品制造的时分全都使用“东京2020”的字样，而称呼的改动将意味着分外的本钱。”
