They look into wrong mark given to swimmers (1-4)
I believe the answer is:
x-rays
'they' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for x-rays that I've seen before include "Electromagnetic waves, for medical diagnoses, say" , "Diagnostic radiation" , "Medical images" , "Hospital photos" , "Medical photographs" .)
