Other Gold Medal Awards

The award of a gold medal, often coupled with the award of silver and bronze medals to the next place finishers, has been adopted in other competitive fields, such as music and writing. Typically bronze medals are awarded only to third place, but in some contests there is some variety, such as International barbershop music contests where bronze medals are awarded for third, fourth, and fifth place.

Famous quotes containing the word gold:

    “‘She has got rings on every finger,
    Round one of them she have got three.
    She have gold enough around her middle
    To buy Northumberland that belongs to thee.”
    —Unknown. Young Beichan (l. 61–64)
