解析
此题属于词语搭配题。此处需要一个副词与throw构成短语,其宾语是opponents,根据上下文,用左手是优势会导致运动员战胜对手,throw off表示"抛弃(习惯、拘束等),击败对手",如:He is too young to throw off the more experienced competitors.故选项off符合逻辑及题意。选项away与throw构成短语,意为"抛弃",如:You threw away the chance of a good job by your carelessness.选项down与throw构成短语,表示"扔掉,推翻",如:The murderer threw the body down the cliff.选项up与throw构成短语,表示"放弃(职业、学业等)",如:He threw up a good job to devote his whole time to art.
