英国选手戴利在伦敦奥运男子10米跳台决赛中,第一跳发挥失常,但随后,他向裁判申诉,称观众席闪光灯影响了自己的空间判断,要求重跳,并获得批准。凭借这次机会,戴利获得了该项目的铜牌。
请看相关报道:
He said he did not expect the home advantage turned to be home disadvantage, and he spoke to referees to apply for redive.
他(戴利)表示,他不希望自己的主场优势变成主场劣势,于是向裁判申请重跳。
这里的home advantage就是“主场优势”,也可以用home field advantage表示。一般来说,如果比赛在运动员自己的国家或城市举办,就会有一些地利、人和方面的优势,让他们更容易取得胜利,这种情况叫做home advantage effect(主场优势效应)。戴利获准重跳应该算在此列吧。
与“主场”相对的,“客场”就可以用visiting field或者opponent’s field来表示。“客场比赛”则用road game或away game来表示。
