1. What is a good idea to do before competing against a dirty player?

Cower and beg him not to hurt you

Get an idea of the types of dirty plays he tries

Assume he won't bother you

2. What is one advantage of retaliation?

It discourages your opponent from trying any more dirty plays

It is fun to hurt another person

It depends on who is more powerful

3. Should you be on guard against dirty play in a figure skating competition?

No, figure skating is only a judgment of your performance

Only if your opponent likes to play hockey

If the stakes are high enough, someone may try to injure you before you skate

If you got all three correct, you are on your way to becoming a Champion in Winning Competitions. If you had problems, you had better look over the material again.
