First, please use code tags when posting code. See: http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/jEywvCM9/

What do you mean by "not showing second"?

You have three separate if-statements. However, there can be only one winner. All the conditions make the whole complex.


What if you would sort results first?

if ( R2 < R1 )
{
  // swap R1 and R2
  // swap runner1 and runner2
}
// now we know that runner1 was faster than runner2

if ( R3 < R1 )
{
  // swap R1 and R3
  // swap runner1 and runner3
}
// now we know that runner1 was faster than runner2 and runner3 

if ( R3 < R2 )
{
  // swap R2 and R3
  // swap runner2 and runner3
}
// now we know that runner2 was faster runner3
