Josh 6,192 Posted December 14, 2023 #31 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Just a thought, but for athlete of the year, could we potentially do separate categories for winter/summer sports? Too many star athletes would go unnoticed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many star athletes would go unnoticed IMO. I also think it would be beneficial to have winter/summer categories in the future. It’s really hard to compare the two, especially since winter tends to straddle two years. Josh 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
