wire-to-wire
Leading throughout entirely
Wire-to-wire describes leading a competition from start to finish without ever falling behind: The team went wire-to-wire, never trailing all season.
The term comes from horse racing, where the wire marks both starting and finishing lines.
A wire-to-wire victory or wire-to-wire champion dominates throughout rather than coming from behind.
