Totallympics Awards 2023

[vinipereira 3,241]

First stage voting should end tomorrow but we only have 5 voters so far. We may have to change the schedule and give it another week, announcing the nominees closer to New Year's rather than Christmas (just like last year). Or maybe even cancel the whole thing if the number of voters is too low. I tagged last year's voters in case anyone is interested. Of course there's a lot more people who can vote (didn't wanna bother more members tagging them here), so please feel free to follow the instructions in this post

I do plan to vote. I can do it today, but an extra few days might be nice. I’m sure a lot of people are busy preparing for the various end of year holidays this week.

Thank you for the reminder, I was definitely intending to vote but I've been very busy at work, so most evenings I'm too tired to sit down for a proper list of all the categories. I hope to get to it tonight or tomorrow!

@vinipereira I can vote but I need two more days. 

 

I was going to vote when the voting was open. But my friend’s elderly mother was brutally killed by a psychically ill person. I was shocked and is shocked and sad. I forget about this voting. Would be happy if you can give me a couple of days.

#4:  Guri Knotten & Juni Arnekleiv (Biathlon)

Guri who?

 

I mean, I watch every World Cup, most of the IBU Cups and check all the results up to Junior Cup and even Alpen Cups, but I don't think I've ever heard of Guri Knotten
