大奖赛 (dàjiǎngsài, "Grand Prix") combines 大 (dà, "big") + 奖 (jiǎng, "prize") + 赛 (sài, "contest") to name a large competition centered on an important prize.
Usage tips
- In everyday Chinese, the sport or field is often added to identify the event, because the word alone describes its level rather than one specific competition.
