Not the one who never falls, just the one who refuses to stay down.
means A person who wins first place in a contest, or who fights and stands up publicly for a cause or another person.
from From Latin 'campus,' meaning a field — specifically the field of battle. From that came 'campio,' a fighter who stood in the field, often one who fought on another's behalf in a trial by combat. The word arrived in English through Old French as 'champion,' carrying both senses still: the one who triumphs, and the one who fights for someone else.
