I mean, if you're competing with 100 people and you get 3rd place that's still pretty impressive honestly

Maybe it is about the perceived worth of the metal/medal? I am sure someone on here will know if there is some historical background to it.
Edit: Where did the Idea for Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals Come From?
"The medals weren't always gold, silver and bronze; the modern use of these precious metals is believed to be derived from various mythological ages, and is also due to the metals' composition, availability and rarity."
