Chapter 3. Russian TROIKA.

3.1. The competition task of the division is to gain the maximum total tonnage for three competitive approaches with independently selected rod weights according to the following conditions:

3.1.1. All members of the division are distributed by gender and weight category.

3.1.2. Depending on the actual number of participants in each weight category, general streams can be formed. The formation of streams can occur: among athletes of the same weight category (maximum up to 15 athletes in one stream), and among different weight categories or age categories. If there are less than 10 people in the stream, then an additional rest time of at least 5 minutes between the streams is assigned.

3.2. The rules of the competition in the "Russian TROIKA".

3.2.1. The athlete is given three competitive attempts. The result of EVERY productive attempt in kilograms is counted in the total tonnage.

3.2.2. The result of a competitive approach that was not counted (not completed) is entered into the Document as equal to the value “ZERO” (zero score).

3.2.3. The order of the athletes of one weight category (stream) to reach the platform in each approach is determined by the value of the ordered starting weight of the bar. First, all athletes of the same thread alternately make 1 attempt, then 2 attempt and 3 attempt.

3.2.4. The weight on the bar in kilograms is ordered arbitrarily, but in multiples of 2.5 kg of the total weight of the bar.

3.2.5. The athlete can change the previously ordered weight of the bar in each approach once in each approach (the signature of the judge is mandatory!) And no later than the moment the athlete is called to the platform.

3.2.6. In the current stream, it is impossible to change the weight of the rod less than the weight of the rod of the previous athlete on the competition platform.

For example: an athlete (No. 1) performed a 150 kg approach to the barbell, while another athlete (No. 2) previously ordered 160 kg (in the same approach). Athlete No. 2 has the right to reduce (change) the barbell weight previously ordered, but not lower than 150 kg.

3.3. In the construction of the bench on the competition platform, additional safety stops in height from the fall of the bar on the athlete must be involved (used).

3.4. In the competition division "Russian TROIKA" records are recorded:

a) in the total tonnage;

b) at maximum weight (can be set in any approach from three attempts).
