I don’t lipread, but I find myself looking to the speaker’s mouth for clues, and that seems to help.

Last month at the Golden Globes, the singer and friend Selena Gomez were caught on camera talking and fans all over the internet were lipreading their conversation.

"But for a deaf person in such a stressful situation it was very difficult to lipread, despite their efforts," she said.

The umpire can lipread through masks, it appears, or read eyes.

All attendees are allowed to remove their mask when speaking to Paralympians or others who rely on lipreading—with the suggestion that they stay two meters from the athletes.
