Answer 13

Only the first three athletes get medals, however others might get a diploma.

For example, in shooting competitions, the athletes first try to qualify to the final round the next day. Only 8 people get to the final round. While the first three get a medal, the other five get a diploma specifying their final position. Same in the marathon, only I think in this case, the first 25 to finish the race get recognition. The first three getting medals and the rest a diploma. Makes sense, for some athletes it would be a big honor to finish among the top ten at an olympic event. It means that in that particular moment you are among the best of the best in a specific discipline.

Maybe this is what you were talking about.
