Was there a competition? I assume US will use their own tech if possible even if is more risky to avoid the dependency on Russia.

That would be false, otherwise we would not have retired the shuttle.

There is always implied competition when it comes to space since its something that only the "richest" countries can do, especially crewed spaceflight

I do not see what competition or race US won, I mean US just catch up in a way, they managed to wash the humiliation of depending on Russia but I could not see how catching up is a win.

The race to build a modern crewed vehicle to the ISS. Compare to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orel_(spacecraft)
