Smaller dive resulted in runner-up’s token (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

silver medal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'runner-up's token' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'smaller dive resulted' is the wordplay.
'resulted' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'result of' mean this).
'smaller'+'dive'='smallerdive'
'smallerdive' anagrammed gives 'SILVER MEDAL'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for silver medal that I've seen before include "Sporting prize" , "What won't satisfy champion" , "Prize for second place" , "Olympic prize" , "Runner-up award" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
