Second winner (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

champion

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'second' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'winner' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for champion that I've seen before include "Stick up for" , "'Winner, title-holder (8)'" , "Excellent" , "Guard" , "Champ" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
