This post seems to indicate that they represent a certain level of "quality", rather than a winner of competition. Olympic medals have a winner in the gold, and second with the silver...this is probably what throws me off-(how can there be "two golds" in the same class?) My daughters take dance classes and compete in "dance competitions", I can't figure out their golds and platinums to tell who won either. This post seems to shed a bit of light on it. Also, I'm thinking the judges perhaps are the winners :)! Thanks for hanging in there on vinovict. WP I think I’ve addressed this a bit before, but…I still cant grasp the meaning of these medals.
