--description--

Given distance points, style points, a wind compensation value, and K-point bonus value, calculate your score for the ski jump and determine if you won a medal or not.

  • Your score is calculated by summing the above four values.

The current total scores of the other jumpers are:

sh
165.5
172.0
158.0
180.0
169.5
175.0
162.0
170.0
  • If your score is the best, return "Gold"
  • If it's second best, return "Silver"
  • If it's third best, return "Bronze"
  • Otherwise, return "No Medal"

ski_jump_medal(125.0, 58.0, 0.0, 6.0) should return "Gold".
