How does the starter shout slogans?

The starter's slogans are "take your positions" and "get ready"

The starter generally refers to the referee who fires a gun or gives a starting order in track and field competitions. The order given by the starter in the sprint competition is: take your positions, get ready, and then fire or blow the whistle. In the race of 800 meters and above, the starter's order is just to fire the gun and take your positions.

Before starting, the starter should get in touch with the finish referee. Only after the flag is raised by the referee at the finish line can the starter start. When starting, shout "Take your positions" loudly, and when all the athletes are ready for the race, give orders such as preparation and starting. When shooting, the wrist is pressed down and the gun head is slightly higher than the butt. The smoke screen points to the terminal timekeeper.
