I think there are a couple of global events that might be off the radar of most people, even some of the usually well educated Totallympics users, especially when many minds are still offuscated by the recent football world cup...

I think the World Cup will dominate the "moment of the year" category. It just happened so it will be easier to remember.

I found this (maybe it helps some people with their picks):

Some highlights:

- Roger Federer retiring

- Serena Williams retiring

- Ashleigh Barty retiring

- Rafael Nadal winning his 21st slam

- Andrey Rublev writing "no war please" on the camera

- Christian Eriksen's comeback in the national team

- Erin Jackson winning gold

- Lindsey Jacobellis winning gold

- The iranian national team not singing the national anthem

- Argentina winning the football world cup

Maybe we should have a "doubles/pair" or "mixed team" category? I forgot about the mixed thing that usually comes up in Winter Olympics years thanks to the skating pairs - Papadakis/Cizeron and Sui Wenjing/Han Cong would be up for an award for finally getting the Olympic title.

not in my vote  (coming soon...I really have to think about some categories...there are too many events, athletes, moments to choose from)...

 

p.s. I also have the same question of @Giovanni Gianni Cattaneo where do mixed teams/pairs go?

or we can have just a single "best National Team" category without splitting men and women (where to include also mixed teams)...

I think that "pairs"can be a new category. All mixed teams are "pairs", couple of skating, mixed curling, some.sailing classes. Not all pairs are mixed, of course. But a pair is not a team, and is not an.individual.

Maybe we should try the "Pair/Doubles" category since I can see a lot of sports with such candidates (like Skating, Curling, Sailing, Beach Volleyball, Tennis and all racquet spots). If we merge all the categories, probably none of them will be nominated. This, of course, excludes mixed teams, but I don't think any of them would be nominated either way
