OlympicsFan 783 Posted December 25, 2022 #64 Share Posted December 25, 2022 On 12/22/2022 at 7:51 PM, OlympicsFan said: I tried to make a list with eligible junior athletes (born in 2004 or later) who won an individual medal at the winter olympics or at 2022 summer world championships: - Su Yiming (snowboard) - Kokomo Murase (snowboard) - Rikuto Tamai (diving) - Chen Yuxi (diving) - Quan Hongchan (diving) - Claire Curzan (swimming) - Katie Grimes (swimming) - Leah Hayes (swimming) - Benedetta Pilato (swimming) - David Popovici (swimming) - Summer McIntosh (swimming) - Mollie O'Callaghan (swimming) - Erriyon Knighton (athletics) - Wei Xiaoyuan (artistic gymnastics) - Hazuki Watanabe (artistic gymnastics) - Shoko Miyata (artistic gymnastics) - Jessica Gadirova (artistic gymnastics) - Sarah Chaari (taekwondo) Someone i didn't mention (since she won her gold in a non-olympic weight category): Amit Elor (born 2004) This year she won the world U20, world U23 and senior world championships, becoming the youngest world champion in american wrestling history. I am no wrestling expert, but her results suggest that she might be the next big thing in women's wrestling.

vinipereira 3,054 Posted December 28, 2022 Author #70 Share Posted December 28, 2022 As some votes are coming in, I see a lot of similarities between Breakthrough of the Year and Youth Athlete, as I predicted that could be some confusion in these categories. I think the best solution right now would be to make the nominees in Youth Athlete ineligible in Breakthrough, and maybe rethink these categories next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
