An upset occurs in a competition, frequently in electoral politics or sports, when the party popularly expected to win (the "favorite"), either loses to or draws/ties a game with an underdog whom the majority expects to lose, defying the conventional wisdom. If it happens in a cup competition, it is sometimes referred to as a "cupset" (a portmanteau, combining the words "cup" and "upset"). It is often used in reference to beating the betting odds in sports, or beating the opinion polls in electoral politics.

  • Upset (in italiano Sorpresa) è un termine inglese con cui si definisce una vittoria inaspettata, e per questo motivo sorprendente, dello sfavorito nei confronti del favorito. Oltre che dalle quotazioni dei bookmakers vi sono svariati modi, basati su classifiche e statistiche, con cui è possibile stabilire se una certa vittoria è da considerarsi o meno un upset. (it)
  • 番狂わせ(ばんくるわせ)とは、予期せぬ事態により物事が思わく通りに進まなくなること、またはスポーツの試合などにおいて戦力や過去の実績で上回る競技者や競技チームに対して格下と見なされる側が、事前の予想を覆して勝利することを指す言葉。時には、「奇跡」とまで表現されることもある。 (ja)
  • Апсе́т (англ. upset) — неочікувана перемога аутсайдера. Термін використовується, переважно, у спорті, рідше — у політиці, зокрема в аналізі виборів. В українську мово слово прийшло з англомовної літератури, де використовується у згаданому сенсі з XIX століття. (uk)
  • En skräll sker i en tävling, ofta i val, politik eller sport, när ett parti eller lag som förväntas vinna, antingen förlorar eller hamnar på oavgjort resultat med ett parti eller lag som förväntas förlora av majoriteten. Termen används ofta inom vadslagning inom sport, eller i opinionsmätningar i politik. (sv)
  • 爆冷或稱爆冷門,是體育術語,是形容賽前被看淡的球隊或選手製造了出乎意料的戰果,在外國這種情況被稱為灰姑娘或灰姑娘的故事。爆冷賽果時常被媒體炒熱及受到球迷注視。此外,爆冷的球隊有時亦會被稱作巨人殺手,源於大衛與歌利亞的聖經故事。 此外,爆冷亦可以用在其他範疇,例如在一次選舉或頒獎禮上,在選前被看淡的一方贏得勝利,亦稱為爆冷。 (zh)
  • Zebra é uma gíria comum em esportes para designar um resultado inesperado, como, por exemplo, a vitória de uma equipe fraca sobre outra considerada superior. Quando uma equipe favorita perde o jogo, diz-se que foi "zebra" ou que "deu zebra". (pt)
