I might toss in a few for the less popular categories.

Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.

I’m voting tomorrow but I might need time to edit my predictions

NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCEMENT

I will try to vote in next round, it is always so hard to find nominees in all categories.

[Olympian1010 8,230]

It might be easier if, at the conclusion of this year's awards, @vinipereira asks for volunteers to track possible nominations, and then splits them into small groups for each category, so that interested users only have to follow one, two or possibly three categories for the first round instead of making nominations in each one. All users would remain eligible to vote in the second round.

This is a great idea, but considering the low interest this year, I don't think we will have another edition of this award.

They'll be missed, as it is a fun time to look back on the year. Honestly, it just seems like forum participation has dropped off a bit for the time being.

Welcome to the nominations announcement for the 2024 Totallympics Awards, the forum's celebration of the year in sport. Over the next hour, we'll unveil the nominees for the 12 categories voted by Totallympics members, as well as look back at some of the year's most memorable moments in sports (due to the lack of votes in some categories, we won't include honorable mentions this year).
