Crossword Genius

Share a bronze medal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

third

This clue is a double definition.

'share' is the first definition.
(a third is a share or fraction)

'a bronze medal' is the second definition.
(bronze medals are awarded for third place)

(Other definitions for third that I've seen before include "Winning bronze medal" , "Bronze medal place" , "Eroica, Beethoven's - symphony" , "One of three equal parts" , "Less than half, rather" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
