Excellent winner (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

champion

This clue is a double definition.

'excellent' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'winner' is the second definition.
(I know that champion is a type of winner)

(Other definitions for champion that I've seen before include "Guard" , "Gold medallist" , "Successful contender" , "Tournament winner" , "hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
