outdoing
Performing beyond rivals
Outdoing is surpassing or exceeding someone else's performance or achievement.
The word often appears in competitive contexts: She kept outdoing her rivals.
To outdo yourself is to perform better than you ever have before, sometimes used sarcastically when someone makes an exceptional blunder: You've really outdone yourself this time.
