sports medal

Podium winner's reward

A sports medal is an award given to athletes for achievement in competition, typically made of metal and worn on a ribbon around the neck.

Gold, silver, and bronze medals conventionally mark first, second, and third place: She won a gold medal in the 100-meter dash.

Olympic medals carry particular prestige, but medals are awarded at all levels of athletic competition.
