Can a t-shirt bear the lifter's nation?

A lifter’s t-shirt can indeed bear the lifter's nation, which is in line with the International Powerlifting Federation’s regulations regarding apparel. This rule allows competitors to display their national pride and identity while adhering to the competition's formal attire guidelines.

The IPF recognizes the importance of representing one's country, especially in competitive settings, as it enhances the sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship among lifters from different nations. This provision not only serves to showcase national affiliation but also promotes the spirit of international competition.

The other options do not align with the IPF's regulations, as they would impose unnecessary restrictions that are not present in the official rules. It is important for athletes to have the opportunity to wear garments that express their national affiliation across all levels of competition.
