I believe the answer is:
runner-up
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">second-place finisher</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for runner-up that I've seen before include "One nearly winning" , "One who is second in a race" , "One coming second" , "Silver medallist" , "Competitor who finishes second" .)
