A champion (identical to the French, from the late Latin campio)
is one who has repeatedly come out first among contestants in
challenges (especially the winner of a tournament or other
competition) or other test, one who is outstandingly skilled in
their field. Olympic Gold Medalists, for example, Lindsay
Davenport or Jean Claude Killy are champions in this sense. The
term can be applied to animals too, in particular racehorses, eg,
Secretariat or Phar Lap.
In sports, a champion is the athlete or team in first place at
the end of a season of organized competition (and, if
applicable, any associated playoffs). It is for this reason that
such competitions are often called championships.
 
There can be a territorial pyramid of championships, e.g. local,
regional / provincial, state, national, continental and world
championships, and even further (artificial) divisions at one or
more of these levels, as in soccer. Their champions can be
accordingly styled, e.g. national champion, world champion. In
certain disciplines, there are specific titles for champions,
either descriptive, as the baspehlivan in Turkish oil wrestling,
or copied from real life, such as the koning and keizer ('king'
and 'emperor') in traditional archery competitions (not just
national, also at lower levels) in the Low Countries.
 
'Champion' is also sometimes used as part of the name of a
public house or other drinking establishment, e.g. "The Champion
of the Thames".
"Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. It's harsh, and
cruel. But that's why there's us. Champions. It doesn't matter
where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we
make a difference. We live as though the world were as it should
be, to show it what it can be."
In the popular MMORPG Ragnarok Online, a Champion is the
transcendent class manifestation of the Monk. This class is very
similar to the Kung-fu masters of reality.
