chalenge (1988) : Commission ministérielle de terminologie du sport (France), 200 mots du sport olympique, 1988-08-01, sous «Termes généraux»; terme recommandé pour remplacer le terme anglais «challenge». 5, record 2, French, - challenge

On ne sait encore si le Canada emboîtera le pas derrière la France qui utilise déjà «challenge» et «challenge-cup» et à laquelle on recommande d'utiliser «chalenge». Tout porte à croire que le nombre de compétitions gérées à partir de l'Europe en imposera l'usage, surtout si le nom donné à une épreuve contient ce terme. Entre-temps, «coupe du défi» dans le sens d'épreuve est utilisé au Canada. 5, record 2, French, - challenge
