Best Answer

these are the awards that people earn, gold is the best of all metals, next comes silver, which is also wonderful but not quite as good as gold, then comes bronze which is 3rd in line for value of metals, that is why they are awarded in that order.

1. Gold the very best

2. Silver 2nd best

3. Bronze 3rd best

Because it's commonly known that their is only 3 winners 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. ~Gold is the most flashy and expensive so the winner should only get it. ~ Silver is not as expensive as gold so that should be given to the runner up. ~ Bronze is not as expensive as silver and should be rewarded to 3rd place.
