Crossword Genius

Seldom glad about first prizes (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gold medals

'prizes' is the definition.
(I know this)

'seldom glad about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'seldom'+'glad'='seldomglad'
'seldomglad' is an anagram of 'GOLD MEDALS'.

'first' acts as a link.

(Another definition for gold medals that I've seen is " Prizes for coming first".)
