How much rest time does the last lifter in a flight receive before their compensatory attempt?

The last lifter in a flight is allowed a rest period of three minutes before their compensatory attempt. This timeframe is designed to ensure that lifters have adequate time to prepare mentally and physically for their upcoming lift. The three-minute rest facilitates recovery and enables the lifter to complete their warm-up, analyze their previous lifts, and strategize for their next attempt, particularly if they are making adjustments based on their performance.

The guideline establishes this duration in order to maintain a competitive yet fair environment during the lifts, allowing each competitor to maximize their performance potential. It also helps to ensure the integrity of the competition by giving all lifters in that flight the same opportunity to prepare adequately for their turns.
