Silver medalist's place (6)
I believe the answer is:
second
'silver medalist's place' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for second that I've seen before include "taking silver back" , "Support, assist" , "Attendant in a duel or boxing match" , "Unit of time - after No 1" , "Mo" .)
