Answer

Hi Sherry! Both terms are right, but they have different meanings. A champion is the person who wins a contest, or who has won contests in the past. A championship can mean either the winning of the contest, or the contest itself.
- The Olympic champion is going to compete for another medal.
- The young biker has surprised everyone by winning this Olympic championship.
