bronze medalist
Not gold, not silver
A bronze medalist is someone who finishes third in a competition, receiving the bronze medal that ranks below gold and silver.
The term appears most often in Olympic and other athletic contexts: The bronze medalist from Kenya set a personal best.
Bronze medalists are sometimes described as happier than silver medalists, who dwell on nearly winning gold.
