photo finish line
Camera-verified race terminus
The finish line in a race where a camera captures the exact moment competitors cross, used to determine results too close for the naked eye.
The photo finish line enables officials to distinguish winners separated by hundredths of a second: The judges reviewed footage from the photo finish line to award the gold medal.
