Which technology is cited as an example used to assist referees in decisions?

• A. Hawkeye
• B. Recovery Tech - ice baths etc
• C. Goal Line
• D. Shoes

Answer: (A)

Technology that helps referees make accurate calls relies on objective evidence gathered as the action unfolds. Hawkeye works by using multiple high‑speed cameras around the venue to track the ball’s flight and reconstruct its path. The system then presents a precise trajectory to officials, giving clear evidence to base close decisions on, such as line calls in tennis or edge/LBW-type decisions in cricket. This kind of tool helps reduce uncertainty and speeds up decisions by relying on verifiable data rather than memory or guesswork. Other options don’t fit as directly: recovery tech supports athletes’ preparation and recuperation rather than officiating; goal-line technology is a similar idea but is specific to determining if a ball crosses the goal line in football, not the broader decision-support Hawkeye provides; and shoes are simply equipment. So Hawkeye is the example cited for assisting referees in decisions.
