@slender cargo yes, "dead heat" is a common idiomatic english phrase that means a very close race or competition with no clear winner, often used for ties especially in horse racing or elections, and it's still fairly common today.

[slender cargo]

it's common in French as well?

pour ȇtre honnȇte i've never heard this in english 😭

yes, "ex æquo" (or often written "ex aequo") is very common and everyday in french today, especially in sports, competitions, rankings, and results to mean "tied" or "equal first/second/etc.," just like "dead heat" is idiomatic in english for close races or ties
