What is a "semi-finalist"?
A semi-finalist is a person or team that reaches the semi-final stage of a competition, just one step away from the final. They have performed well enough throughout the event to be among the last few competitors, competing for a spot in the final match or round. Even if they do not secure a place in the final, reaching the semi-finals is a significant achievement, as it shows that they are among the top competitors in the event. Semi-finalists are often recognized for their skill and performance.
Examples
The soccer team celebrated their victory, knowing they were now semi-finalists.
The judges selected ten semi-finalists from hundreds of audition tapes.
