Podium Finishers with Medals

Medium ⏱ 12 min 49% acceptance ★★★★★ 4.6
Write podium(finishers) that takes an ordered list of runner names and returns the first three paired with 'gold', 'silver', 'bronze' as tuples. If fewer than three finished, pair only as many as exist — a comprehension over zip handles this naturally.
