Shooting
In January 2013, the International Sport Shooting Federation adopted new competition rules for 2013–2016, which, in particular, changed the order of the finals. In many disciplines, athletes who have reached the final now begin a decisive round without points scored in the qualification, and the final passes through the elimination system. Also in the finals after each round of shooting an athlete with the lowest score will be eliminated from further combat. In a high-speed pistol, the decisive fights take place according to the system hit-miss. In the bench shooting, a semifinal round was added, where two participants of the final match and the match for third place are determined [2] .

Weightlifting
Each NOC chooses a category in which its weight lifter will perform. As part of the competition, two exercises are conducted - jerk and push. In each of the exercises, the athlete is given 3 attempts. The winner is determined by the sum of two exercises. In case of equality of results, the victory is awarded to the athlete, with a lower own weight.
