Usage Note
Crono is an informal short form of cronómetro (stopwatch/timer) or contrarreloj (time trial), used widely in cycling and motorsport: hacer un buen crono (to post a good time). In journalism and sports broadcasting it functions as a clipped form referring to a timed result. The full word cronómetro is used in more formal contexts.
