Speaking of Gymnastics (Simone Biles comes to mind), what you guys think about adding the "Comeback of the Year" category? Do we have enough athletes/national teams that have made a comeback performance this year?

Yeah, I thought about her too because that's really incredible, but I didn't think others would notice (i.e. non-brazilians).

If I remember correctly, we set our alarms to watch Aline's races in those championships :d 

 

Irrelevant yet fun fact: next month we'll be keeping some of her equipment safe in our garage while they're off to compete in Slovenia, so they don't need to haul everything everywhere :p

Probably, although I might be a bit biased because I always find comebacks cool and inspiring and in some cases the essence of sports :p

Same here, but I probably don't watch as much stuff as you do. I mostly remember some moments from Gymnastics and the Pan American Games, none of which will have a chance to actually be nominated :p

I only watch major championships and multi-sports games, so my votes might be off the beaten path a bit as well.

Isn't that what makes things like this fun though? :d 

 

Like TISC, it's fun to realize tons of people actually experience music (or sports, in this case) in many entirely different ways than we do ourselves.

Just a few updates. I accepted @OlympicIRL suggestion and now we will have the Best Doubles/Pair or Mixed Team category. If we have more mixed events in the future, perhaps we can create a separate category. We'll be also moving forward with the Comeback of the Year category, and I would deeply appreciate any suggestions for this award.

Femke Bol maybe? For winning a world title after her fall in the relay. 
 

It’s the only thing that pops into my head without reading any old threads or looking at results.
