What is the adjusted time between attempts for flights consisting of 5 lifters compared to other sizes?

In powerlifting competitions, the adjusted time between attempts is critical for ensuring that all lifters have adequate time to prepare and recover between their lifts. For flights consisting of a smaller number of lifters, such as five, the allotted time between attempts is typically set to one minute. This shorter interval accounts for the quicker pace of lifting, since there are fewer lifters in the flight. With fewer competitors, the smooth flow of the competition can be maintained while still allowing enough time for each lifter to focus on their performance.

This adjusted time is designed to provide balance; it offers lifters enough time to prepare mentally and physically without causing unnecessary delays in the competition. In contrast, larger flights require longer intervals to accommodate the increased number of lifters, ensuring everyone has sufficient time and that the event progresses efficiently. This structure helps in managing the competition effectively while considering the performance needs of the athletes.
