How it's used
Focuses on the effort and competitive nature of achieving a victory, often used in sports or formal contests. It carries a sense of seizing or snatching a prize from other contenders, making it sound more dramatic than simply winning. You will frequently hear this in news reports or sports commentary when describing a hard-fought win.
Examples
They finally won the championship of this competition.
Do you think he has a chance to win the gold medal?

Common phrases

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual wins like winning a small bet or a simple game of cards, as it sounds overly intense and formal for those contexts. Use 贏 instead for everyday situations.
