For Europe: 3rd place in ranking, what does it mean?

[csun52]

I applied for a doctoral fellowship at a Norwegian university. One week after interviewing, I was told that I was placed at 3rd on the ranking. Do you know what does this mean? Is there some likelihood that both two in front of me all abandon their offer? I'm not sure how many people are there in the ranking list but obviously they only recruit one candidate.
