Definition
冲刺 (chōngcì) means 'to sprint' or 'to make a final push' — it specifically refers to a burst of speed or effort at the end of a race or toward a deadline. Unlike 冲 (chōng), which is a general 'dash' or 'charge' in any context, 冲刺 always implies a final, goal-directed spurt. 闯 (chuǎng) adds the nuance of forcing one's way through an obstacle, whereas 冲刺 focuses on speed and urgency toward a finish line or target.
