If this wouldn't be an olympic year, i could have seen someone like Botn win the breakthrough award. Maybe it would be better to have all awards seperated by winter and summer sports. Personally i find it difficult to hand awards to winter sports athletes when they compete against summer sports athletes (since there is usually more competition in summer sports).

Would like to see categories like "best athlete over 40" or "best athlete by continent".

Maybe he could be a candidate next year (if he wins the european championships and/or the champions league), but i guess he was already too good this year for him to still possibly qualify for the breakthrough award next year. I think someone like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander belongs in the same category. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I hadn't thought of him yet, because I don't really associate football with Totallympics/Olympics. In hindsight I would've replaced Finucane or Tebogo on my list with him. #1: Jordan Stolz - Speed skating #2: Puck Pieterse - Mountainbike #3: Qin Haiyang - Swimming #4: Letsile Tebogo - Athletics #5: Emma Finucane - Track cycling #6: Anna Hall - Athletics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasolini 172 Posted December 24, 2023 #90 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Hey @vinipereirahere are my votes. Thank you so much for the extension! Should I also send you by DM? I'm surprised I'm the first person to mention skateboarding? It is curious because I wanted to include some of them on "Breakthrough" but as they had less than 18 years I had to somehow nudge them all on the youth! BEST MALE ATHLETE for sportsmen in Olympic sports #1: Johannes Thingnes Boe (Biathlon) #2: Noah Lyles (Athletics) #3: Novak Djokovic (Tennis) #4: Hashimoto Daiki (Artistic Gymnastics) #5: Lèon Marchand (Swimming) #6: Mathieu van der Poel (Cycling) Could complete a back-up list equally as powerful as this one. No judoka (Tasoev, Abe, Hashimoto), No Filipe Toledo, no Marco Odermatt, no Fan Zhendong... What Mondo Duplantis needs to do to come back to this list? Or Jakob Ingebrigtsen... BEST FEMALE ATHLETE for sportswomen in Olympic sports #1: Molly O'Callaghan (Swimming) #2: Simone Biles (Artistic Gymnastics) #3: Rebeca Andrade (Artistic Gymnastics) #4: Christa Deguchi (judo) #5: Lisa Carrington (Canoeing) #6: Kokona Hiraki (Skateboarding) BEST NON-OLYMPIC ATHLETE for athletes in Non-Olympic sports and disciplines Sorry, need to get better on this one! BEST PARALYMPIC ATHLETE for athletes with a disability #1: Aline Rocha (Cross-Country Skiing) - biased perhaps or for sure? #2: Tanguy De La Forest (Shooting) #3: Jesper Pedersen (Alpine Skiing) #4: Marcel Hug (Athletics) #5: Simone Barlaam (Swimming) #6: Diede De Groot (Tennis) BEST YOUTH ATHLETE for athletes up to 18 years old (born after January 1st, 2005) (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Summer McIntosh (Swimming) #2: Rayssa Leal (Skateboarding) #3: Darja Varfolomeev (Rhythmic Gymnastics) #4: Chen Yuxi (Diving) #5: Maximilian Maeder (Sailing, Kitesurfing) #6: Yumeka Oda (Skateboarding) Special Mention: Ginwoo Onodera (Skateboarding) BEST MEN'S TEAM for national men's teams or groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Basketball NT #2: Waterpolo NT #3: Rugby (Union) NT #4: Baseball NT #5: Team Sprint (Track Cycling) #6: 8+ (rowing) BEST WOMEN'S TEAM for national women's teams or groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Foil (Fencing) #2: Swimming Freestyle Relays #3: Waterpolo NT #4: Football NT #5: Field Hockey #6: 8+ (rowing) BEST DOUBLES/PAIR OR MIXED TEAM for doubles and pairs or mixed teams and groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan (badminton) #2: Ana Patrícia Ramos & Eduarda Lisboa (women's Beach Volleyball) #3: Equestrian Jumping Team #4: Johannes Lochner/Georg Fleischhauer (Bobsleigh) #5: Jan Willem van Schip / Yoeri Havik (Track Cycling) #6: Perusic/Schweiner (Beach Volleyball) BREAKTHROUGH OF THE YEAR for the most improved athlete (aged 19 or over) or national team (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Qin Haiyang (Swimming) #2: Luigi Cini (Skateboarding) #3: Jonatan Hellvig/David Åhman (Beach Volleyball) #4: Akhmed Tazhudinov (Wrestling) #5: Cassiel Rousseau (Diving) #6: Máté Tamás Koch (Fencing) (Thought about including Women's AG from Brazil for finally winning a team medal but in the end Cini got the individual mention) COMEBACK OF THE YEAR for athletes or national teams who made a comeback performance in 2023 (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Simone Biles (Artistic Gymnastics) #2: Inal Tasoev (Judo) #3: Cameron McEvoy (Swimming) #4: Mayra Aguiar (Judo) #5: Antonella Palmisano (race walk - athletics) #6: Justine Braisaz-Bouchet (biathlon) I tried to avoid 2022 comebacks even if they managed to reach the top of their game only this year SPORT MOMENT OF THE YEAR for any sport moment from 2023 #1: "World Champion of What?" (LYLES, Noah, 2023) #2: Italy winning the Davis Cup (Tennis) #3: Australia winning World Championship over India at the Narendra Modi Stadium #4: Femke Bol falling on the finish line and losing the Relay Gold (Athletics) #5: Men's Team celebration of their Olympic Quota in the locker room - is this about sport? not sure anymore (Volleyball) #6: totally biased now: Nathalie Moellhausen, Amanda Netto Simeão and Victoria Vizeu winning the gold medal at the PanAm, only the second for Brazilian history in fencing (Netto Simeão retired just after the match and it was the last match for Moellhausen on the team - she will focus on individual now) (fencing) also very moving: Adriana Diaz and Bruna Takahashi embrace at the end of their match at the Pan American Games final (Table Tennis) Edited December 24, 2023 by Mateus Nagime included a special mention at Breakthrough maestro, vinipereira and Josh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
