失败者, 落选者
a person who fails to win or succeed in a competition, contest, etc.
An also-ran is a person or competitor who participates in a race or competition but does not finish in a winning position, typically finishing far behind the leaders. This term is often used to refer to those who do not achieve notable results, often due to being less skilled or experienced than the top competitors. While the term can imply a lack of success in that particular event, it does not necessarily reflect a lack of ability, as an also-ran may still be a strong participant in other situations or competitions.
- Although he was an also-ran in the race, he kept pushing himself to improve for the next competition.
