If you overtake the person who is in second place, you take their position, which means you are now in second place. The person who was in second is now in third place. You have not overtaken the person in first place yet, so you remain behind them.
You were third; when you overtook the person in second place you became the new second place runner the former second place is now third.

In the number 32.589, the digit in the hundredths place is 8. This is because the hundredths place is the second digit to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, 32.589 has an 8 in the hundredths position.
In the number 42256, there are two occurrences of the digit 2. The values of these 2s are 20, which comes from the second position (tens place), and 2, which comes from the fifth position (units place). Therefore, the values of the 2s in 42256 are 20 and 2.
In math, "tens" refers to the place value position of numbers that are in the tens place, which is the second position to the left of the decimal point. For example, in the number 47, the digit 4 represents 40, or four tens. This concept is fundamental in understanding the base-10 number system, where each position represents a power of ten. The term can also refer to groups or sets of ten items.
You were third; when you overtook the person in second place you became the new second place runner the former second place is now third.
AND THE WINNER IS...OR ISNT...Most people answer this incorrectly as now you're in first place. But you're not, you're in second place. Your originating position is third place. When you overtake the second place runner, you are now the second place runner. WRONG!It never says you finished
If you "over take" a person in any position/place, you obviously finish in that person's position/place. You finish in Second.
Second place
Second. You WERE 3rd, passed the person in 2nd, giving you 2nd place. There is still someone ahead of you.
If you passed him after you crossed the finish line, he finished 2nd so you're in the 3rd place now. Or you may have passed him while you were running the other way, you were not in the race at all, then hopefully you would be in the place you were running to. The simplest answer is that when you passed the person in second place, you would now be in second place yourself.
= If you are running a race and passed the person in second place what place would you be in? = The Answer is 2nd Place The person you passed is now in third place. The person in first place is just in front of you (Because it does not say that you have passed the person in first place) *The answer Can be First Place (as it still fits the need of "passed the person in second place) but it's assumed that you have ONLY passed the person in second place (since the first placer isn't mentioned), and thus, with the reasoning above, puts you into second place.

the hundredths place
a dang good position to be in
You are now in second place. The person you overtook is now in third place. You have effectively swapped your positions.
The correct phrase is "win second place." This expression means to finish in the second position in a competition. Using "win the second place" is less common and can sound awkward, as the definite article "the" is typically unnecessary in this context.
