'thrillingly' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'win gold nimbly fantastically' is the wordplay.
'fantastically' indicates anagramming the letters (a fantastical ordering of the letters).
'win'+'gold'+'nimbly'='wingoldnimbly'
'wingoldnimbly' with letters rearranged gives 'MIND-BLOWINGLY'.
