I think it's stretch: which means to lengthen or elongate to reach the full length.
Sentences: The rubber band was so elastic that I could stretch it out very long.

The book was at the top of the shelf, so I had to stretch to reach it.

down the stretch is used commonly in sports. "The team struggled in the first half, but down the stretch they played better".

@nieh95 in this scenario yes. If you're talking sports in general it will mean at a later point in a game near the end to show contrast to something that happened earlier. for example, at the start of the match no one could stop him from scoring, but down the stretch he struggled to score against a defender. I'm pretty sure the phase originated from horse racing when they would turn the last corner and head "down the stretch" towards the finish line. in that case though, it's referring to the last part of the race track before the finish line. hope this helps.
