Blankety Blank Blank

Q:


In each statement, select a word to fill in the first blank.  Add a letter to the first word without changing the order to get the second blank.  Add one letter to the second word to get the third blank, again without changing the order.

For safety's sake, an Olympic diver must blank on the pool crew to take care of the blank.  And when the pool crew turned on the water, that part blank.


Olympic swimmers must blank on perfect timing in order to win the blank. Sadly, they knew there'd be no medals when they saw the blank.


When spectators blank lost in the downtown blank, they will likely need help finding the blank.


In the blank, the Olympian tried to blank everything so as not to seem blank to the crowd.

When the runner from Papua New Guinea won the blank, the commentator said, "He's wearing that blank like a proud papa."  Quite an appropriate blank I think.
