der Champion, -s
champion
Eine Person oder ein Team, das in einem Wettbewerb den ersten Platz erreicht und alle anderen übertrifft.
The German word "Champion" is a noun borrowed directly from English (and French "champion"), meaning a champion or winner, especially in sports or competitions. It refers to someone who has won a contest or is at the top in their field.
Similar words:
- Meister (master, champion, often used for winners)
- Sieger (winner)
- Titelträger (title holder)
Differences:
- Champion often has an international or sports-specific connotation.
- Meister can emphasize mastery and is used more broadly (e.g., league champion).
- Sieger simply means "winner," focusing on the act of winning rather than ongoing status.
