Hi, Totallympics' members! Welcome to the Totallympics Awards, a celebration of the year in sports. Once again, we invite you to take part in the voting process that will elect the best in sports from 2024 in several categories. In the third edition of the awards, we hope to count with voters from as many nations as possible. If you want to participate, please follow the instructions here. In this thread, you are allowed to make comments and suggestions regarding your personal preferences. Below, we explain the categories and voting process in detail.

 

 

Categories

 

  • Best Male Athlete

 

  • Best Female Athlete

 

  • Best Non-Olympic Athlete

 

  • Best Paralympic Athlete

 

  • Best Youth Athlete

 

  • Best Men's Team

 

  • Best Women's Team

 

  • Best Doubles/Pair or Mixed Team

 

  • Breakthrough of the Year

 

  • Comeback of the Year

 

  • Sport Moment of the Year

 

  • Olympic Spirit Award

 

 

Special Awards

 

  • Totallympics' Stars Award

 

  • Lifetime Achievement Award

 

 

The 2024 Awards will consist of 12 categories (each with 6 nominees) and two special awards. The top categories are Best Male Athlete and Best Female Athlete, in which voters will recognize the best athletes of the year in Olympic sports only (Summer or Winter). Such restriction applies only to these categories.

 

Athletes who participate in sports that are not part of the Olympic Games or who are most prominent in disciplines that are not included in the Olympic programme will compete for the Non-Olympic Athlete award, a category that combines male and female athletes. The Best Paralympic Athlete category will acknowledge the outstanding athletes with a disability that highlighted the Paralympic movement in 2024.

 

Younger athletes will be up for Best Youth Athlete, a category for talents up to 18 years old – to be eligible, an athlete must have been born after 1 January 2006. The Breakthrough of the Year is a category for the most improved athlete/team of the year and applies for athletes aged 19 or over – athletes or teams previously nominated for this award are not eligible this time.

 

Although athletes from team sports can be nominated for all individual awards, they will also be in the running for two other categories: Best Men's Team and Best Women's Team. As the name suggests, national teams or groups can be nominated, in both Olympic and Non-Olympic sports, Paralympic sports included. Sportspeople competing in 2-athlete events or mixed events will be up for Best Doubles/Pair or Mixed Team award.

 

The Comeback of the Year award will honour the athletes or teams who made a comeback performance in 2024, while the Sport Moment of the Year will bring moments that thrilled us this year. The Olympic Spirit Award is a category for people related to the 2024 Summer Olympics or Paralympics and will be given to the individuals who exemplify the spirit of sportsmanship in the Games or showed great determination in overcoming obstacles. As for the special categories, the Totallympics' Stars award will celebrate members of our forum, while the Lifetime Achievement will recognize retired sport personalities that have made a contribution to sports world.

 

 

 

Voting System

 

FIRST STAGE OF VOTING

 

The first stage of voting will happen from Friday, December 20th to Saturday, December 28th. Voters will choose, in order of preference, a minimum of 3 athletes or teams and a maximum of 6 for each category in which they decide to vote. With the exception of Best Male Athlete and Best Female Athlete (votes are required for both), voters can decide whether to vote in other categories or not. Voters are also allowed to choose athletes and teams from their own nation, however, out of the 6 possible choices, voters can only vote for one (1) athlete or team from their own nation per category.

 

In each category, votes (in order of preference) will be converted into points, following the system explained below:

After the points are counted, the top 6 with most points in each category will advance for the second stage. A tiebreaker will be used when there's a tie in points for the 6th spot, prevailing the total number of votes, and then the number of #1 votes. If the tie persists, a random draw will be conducted to determine the final nominee. The list of nominees for the Totallympics Awards will be announced on Sunday, December 29th, 2024.

 

 

SECOND STAGE OF VOTING

 

The second stage of voting will happen from Sunday, December 29th to Saturday, January 4th. Here, voters will rank a maximum of 3 favourite nominees in each category, but they also can make a single choice per category. With the exception of Best Male Athlete and Best Female Athlete, for which voting is required in order to participate, members can vote in any categories they want. Just like in the first stage, votes will be converted into points, this time in a slightly different way, as can be seen below:

After the voting process ends, the nominees with the most points in each category will be the winners of 2024 Totallympics Awards. As in the first stage, a tiebreaker is necessary when two or more nominees obtain the same number of points, prevailing the total number of votes, and then the number of #1 votes. If the tie persists, results of first stage will be considered. Along with the Totallympics' Stars and Lifetime Achievement awards, all winners will be announced in a live ceremony Sunday, January 5th, which will bring together Totallympics members in a celebration of the year in sports.

Don't know if there's any interest in this award this year, but I thought I would open the thread anyway.

 

For those who don't know or don't remember, here's a link for the previous editions: 2022 and 2023.

No worries. We are very interested :yes

As usual, I will leave some suggestions for the Best Paralympic Athlete category.

 

Didn't include individuals from winter sports due to the lack of World Championships this year. Feel free to add names to the list.

    • You may find it interesting.   Here in Poland, a plebiscite was organized for the Youth Word of the Year.   And the winner is... SIGMA.   "The term "sigma" is assigned to an individualist who does not live according to the traditional patterns prevailing around us. Sigma male is often defined as a person who has their own principles that they follow and does not need acceptance from society. "Sigma" is a description of a successful, self-confident, outstanding person who can be admired. Sigma is a "lone wolf", convinced of their extraordinary nature, but does not flaunt it. They set rules that they strictly follow. This name is also used to describe an introverted person who lives outside of traditional social hierarchies. It is believed that people with this personality value solitude and autonomy and avoid large social gatherings. Which is better sigma male or alpha male? Alphas are at the very top of the male socio-sexual hierarchy while sigmas do not have a fixed place within the hierarchy. Alphas tend to be more extroverted, traditional, and aggressive while Sigmas usually keep to themselves, think outside of the box, and have a calm disposition."   Well, i really like this word.      
    • Believe me, few days ago i wanted to write here that IF Anamarija Lampic learns how to shoot, she'll be just unbeatable. But at first I just didn't want to jinx it and then - honestly - i forgot. And i was thinking... big IF though.   And now... i'm so happy for her. Congrats!   Waiting for one missed shot in the next sprint and then... ZERO!
    • THE LIGHT BULBS ARE ON!!! THE LIGHT BULBS ARE ON!!!
    • Not only a new PB for our resident 39yo grandma (who would have guessed it, in a sprint even), but also the third best performance for Žurauskaitė.   The first ever time that two Lithuanian women get points in the same race.   The first time that three Lithuanian women qualify for a pursuit.   Nations cup record for women as well.   And mostly this result happened, because yesterday they got the news that Sara Urumova made world cup qualification at the IBU, we will have a women's relay after a 5 year hiatus and our chances to qualify our first historical women's relay squad to the Olympics is looking much much more likely now.   The men might struggle to keep their 20th place a bit more tbh  
    • There's Polsat Sport but I also watch streaming.
    • A three man breakaway in ice hockey? This would look bad in football let alone here    
    • With the following restrictions: * one skater / pair per event * no team event * can only qualify from the last chance qualification event
