úrslitatímabil

Úrslitatímabil refers to the final period of a sports match or competition. It is the decisive phase where the outcome is typically determined, and often involves increased intensity from both participants. This period is characterized by heightened pressure, strategic adjustments, and the execution of critical plays.

In many sports, the final minutes or seconds of a game are considered the "úrslitatímabil." For instance, in football (soccer), this might be the last ten minutes, while in basketball, it could be the final quarter. In track and field, the final lap of a race or the last few attempts in a field event would constitute the "úrslitatímabil."

The psychological aspect is significant during this time. Athletes may experience fatigue but are also driven by the proximity of victory or defeat. Spectators often find this phase the most exhilarating due to the unpredictable nature and the potential for dramatic comebacks or decisive winning moments. Coaches and managers frequently use timeouts during the "úrslitatímabil" to strategize and motivate their teams. The term emphasizes the conclusive nature of this stage, where all efforts are concentrated on achieving the desired result before the final whistle or signal.
