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.

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.

Given the suggestion, I'll leave this poll here. If we don't have enough votes to change it, we can discuss it again next year.

Actually I'm for the no. I like the idea to have THE best athlete.

I think having male and female separation is enough.

This voting was very close but ultimately more people were against the idea of splitting the categories. Next year we can discuss new categories.
