custom loop and meta_query question

I have a loop that I want to bring results into an athlete profile page. But I only want results from the athlete to go onto their page. I have the loop and a meta_query but I keep getting an error and am not sure what I am missing?

<?php
              $args = array(
                'post_type' => 'result',
                'category_name' => 'results',
                'orderby' => 'date',
                'order'   => 'ASC',
                'posts_per_page'  =>  '15',
                'paged'             =>  $paged,
                'meta_query' => array(
                    array(
                      'key'     => 'result',
                      'value'   => 'result-athlete',
                      'compare' => '='
                    )
                  )  );
              $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );       

            ?>

it keeps saying there is an error on the line that has ‘key’ => ‘result’.

Here is the error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `’)” in …..

I am at my wit’s end. not sure what I am missing. Any help would be awesome.
