English term or phrase: Competitiveness
As they politely took turns answering questions, their mutual admiration was clear, as well as an evident competitiveness

Ma traduction:
Au fur et à mesure qu’ils prenaient poliment la parole l'un après l'autre afin de répondre aux questions, leur admiration mutuelle s’affichait clairement ainsi qu’une compétitivité évidente

Il s'agit d'un rapport d'un fils avec son père. Je ne suis pas satisfaire avec "compétitivité". Des suggestions?

Merci
