Satellite state in contest finally awarded bronze (8)
I believe the answer is:
ganymede
'satellite' is the definition.
(I know that Ganymede is a Galilean)
'state in contest finally awarded bronze' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'state' could be 'ny' (abbreviation for New York the US state) and 'ny' is present in the answer.
'contest' could be 'game' (game is a kind of contest) and 'game' is located in the leftover letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ganymede that I've seen before include "Beautiful cupbearer to the gods" , "Beautiful youth's" , "One of Jupiter's moons" , "Cupbearer; satellite of Jupiter" , "heavenly body seen by Jupiter" .)
