To have victory snatched away at the last second by making a silly mistake.
Etymology: In the 2019 Red Bull X-alps, endurance athlete and Paraglider pilot Kinga Masztalerz was racing another competitor to avoid elimination. She had battled her way to get in front of her competitor but then took a wrong turn and ran in completely the wrong direction. By the time she realised the mistake it was too late and, at the cut off time, she was eliminated for being only 700m behind.
