one

Dear members

"All competitors, but one had already finished when Rick and Dick finally made it to the finish line, but spectators all waited to see them finish and stoop up to cheer for them."

My text book say the "one" is "Rick and Dick".

But is there any possible that the "one" could be another person or people grammatically?

Thanks in advance.
