neutral  Tomas Mosler, DipTrans IoLET MCIL MITI: "Zbavit vítězství" - to mi zní, jako kdyby protivník to vítězství (letošní) už měl a pak mu jej někdo vzal. IMHO by více smyslu dávalo "připravit (např. v cílové rovince) o vítězství" nebo "zbavit titulu (závodníka XY, který vyhrál v r. 2010)".

  -> Souhlasím, Tomáši, připravit o vítězství je jednoznačně lepší
