finish 4th or finish in 4th

How to naturally write the sentence?

The worst place to finish [in] a race is 4th. One place shy of the podium.
  

Top answer

The worst place to finish in a race is fourth, one place shy of the podium. The words were fine, but there weren't two complete sentences. We generally write numbers form one to ten and from first to tenth in words.
