outsprinting
Faster at finish
Outsprinting means sprinting faster than someone else, beating them in a short burst of speed: She outsprinted the defender to reach the ball first.
The word appears most often in sports contexts—racing, cycling, soccer—where a final dash determines the outcome: He outsprinted the pack in the final meters to take the stage.
