Dans les sports individuels, c’est davantage l’attitude de l’athlète qui lui permettra de réduire l’avance du meneur ou le fera remonter dans les points; ainsi en est-il en cyclisme et dans les épreuves d’athlétisme sur piste où il est possible de réduire l’écart dans la distance séparant un athlète du meneur, et, dans des sports jugés comme le patinage artistique, la gymnastique ou le plongeon, où c’est l’écart dans les points qu’il est possible de réduire avec une meilleure exécution des figures, routines ou plongeons en fin d’épreuve. 2, record 7, French, - faire%20du%20jeu%20de%20rattrapage
