You mean handegg and football ? 

I'd go with Pauline Ferrand-Prévot

Well, here in  Lewis Hamilton won the official award, but I always think race drivers do only about 20% of the work. Tyson Fury was impressive, historically a British heavyweight has to be twice as good as his American opponent to win in Vegas.  Otherwise I’d go for Theo Geoghan Hart for his improvised win in the Giro, but not really the strongest field by the end.  Our best women overall did not get a chance to compete in their big events, so maybe Lizzie Deignan for some good World Tour wins, including La Course.

Sportsman: Dominik Szoboszlai, football - huge year for him at Salzburg, signed for Leipzig, scored the winning goal against Iceland

Sportswoman: Tímea Babos, tennis - won the Australian Open and the French Open in Women's doubles with Mladenovic

Team: Hungarian national football team - qualified for EURO 2020, promotion to the highest division in Nations League

 

Honorable mention to the Hungarian women's table tennis team, they qualified for Tokyo 2020 without any Chinese players. Also, another HM to Ferencváros who qualified for the football Champions League Group Stage. 

Uh, forgot to clarify earlier that these are my opinions.  I just thought that I share it before we get the official ones, who will be announced on January 11th. I wouldn't be surprised if they pick similarly because there aren't many options.

- Sportsman: I would say it's pick between Viktor Axelsen (badminton) for his All-England win as the first European and Danish Men's Singles winner since 1999, or Sverri Nielsen (rowing) for his gold at the European Rowing Championships in Men's Single Sculls (M1x). I would personally pick Sverri Nielsen. Maybe because Viktor Axelsen has already won sportsperson of the year before. 

 

- Sportswoman: Pernille Harder (football). Honourable mention would be Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (cycling)

 

- Team of the year: Track cycling 4km Pursuit Team. They set 3 world records during the World Championships. Without a doubt the sports performance of the year from any Danish athletes.

• Sportsman: Rafa Nadal (Tennis). It has not been his best season, but he won Roland Garros again, and this year that's enough to be considered the best athlete of the year in Spain.
• Sportswoman: Sandra Sánchez (Karate). I was not sure who to nominate for this category, but if I am not mistaken, Sandra has won all the competitions she has participated this year.
• Team of the year: Men Handball. They won the Europan Championship in January and qualified for the Olympics.

 

Carolina Marín (badminton), Mavi García and Albert Torres/Sebastián Mora (cycling), Jon Rahm (golf), Orlando Ortega (athletics), Nikoloz Sherazadishvili (judo), Carlos Llavador (fencing), Gabriel Escobar or José Quiles (boxing) also had some good results this good year.

My own Choices : well there's nothing much to say about 2020 in Sports in Egypt but I'd say Mohamed Salah ( Football)  could be the best sportsman and Mayar Sherif ( tennis) the best sportswoman
