it doesn't mean that the 2 years of hard work are meaningless, and cooling your heels doesn't do much good for you also.
why don't you ask the decision maker what set you two apart? what different skill sets or experience did the other person have that you didn't.
now the answer may not lead to anything tangible, but it's the best place to get the answer you are seeking.
after that, continue to work hard like you have because that's you, if it doesn't get you somewhere in the place that you are in, it will help you at a place that is outside of your current situation.
when it's time to grow it may be time to go...
