In the Olympics, a gold medal is first place, a silver medal is second place, and a bronze medal is third place. Silver winners are often unhappy, and there are sayings such as “Second place is the first loser” and “You don’t win silver—you lose gold.” A bronze winner is often happy to have won any medal at all.
