The word is made up of 'Bronze' (bronze) and 'Medaille' (medal). The '-e-' in the middle is a linking sound that connects the two parts of the word. The meaning is therefore literally a medal made of bronze.

At the awards ceremony, he received the bronze medal.
In a sports context, a bronze medal is typically 'gewonnen' (won), 'geholt' (won/got), or 'erkämpft' (fought for). You can also 'sich über die Bronzemedaille freuen' (be happy about the bronze medal).

Bronze and Bronzemedaille can both refer to the prize for third place. When reporting a result, Bronze is often used without an article. Bronzemedaille more clearly refers to the specific, countable prize and can therefore be used with “eine” (a).
