    Solution

    The word "stellar" means outstanding or exceptionally good, which fits well in the context of the sentence, suggesting that the athlete's performance was impressive and left fans feeling optimistic about his future. The other options—"mediocre" (average), "lackluster" (uninspired), and "questionable" (doubtful)—convey negative or neutral connotations that do not align with the sentiment of hopefulness expressed in the sentence.
