What action may occur when a protest is reviewed?

• A. The ruling is immediately overturned.
• B. The decision is reaffirmed or escalated after review.
• C. The protest is discarded without review.
• D. The lifter is removed from competition.

Answer: (B)

When a protest is reviewed, the officials re-examine the ruling to determine whether it was applied correctly. They look at the evidence, the terms of the rules, and how the call was made. The most likely and appropriate outcome is that the decision is either reaffirmed if the ruling stands, or escalated to a higher authority for a final determination if there’s a valid reason to change it. An immediate reversal without a proper review or discarding the protest without any review wouldn’t align with the review process, and removing the lifter from competition is not a direct outcome of the protest review itself.
