In sports, a blowout is an easy or one-sided victory.[1][2] It occurs when one athletic team or individual performer outscores another by a large margin or in such a fashion that allows the second team or individual little chance of a victory from a point early in a competition, game, contest or event, e.g. Team Frosties defeat Team Goose 9-1. The term is often used in reference to athletic competition, but it is used in other contexts such as electoral politics (see also the synonym landslide).[3][4][5]
