corona, noun:
crown; garland

Corona is the word for crown. It can be used both for royal crowns and for sporting ones.

Sólo podrá defender su corona llegando al final.
He’ll only be able to defend his crown if he reaches the final.

There are few countries with monarchies these days, and they will hope to have a crown prince to succeed the present king or queen:

un heredero de la corona
a crown prince

Because of its shape, corona has another meaning:

una corona de flores
a wreath
