"Out of stadium" why not just call it road events? :mumble:

'cause cross country and mountain running are also included in this category (even if nobody gives them a damn) ;)

I guess they will at some point want to include cross country, mountain running etc.  WA are already trying to build up the profile of CC.

Mondo was ROBBED. :mad:Most underrated athlete in the world. :(

He won this award three times already. Probably wanted someone new to win it ;)

Well, that is my thinking.  If it just goes on WRs he is going to win every year for a decade or more.

@Monzanator@Grassmarket

 

still it should go to the absolute best . What has Tebogo done that Mondo doesn’t?

 

“Duplantis is too good we give it an another athlete “. What’s saying Duplantis will win again with this kind of thinking?

Most of these awards are popularity contests anyway. One can argue Hassan winning over SLL is equally nonsensical :p

True about Hassan and SLL.  But this is also why I think this kind of popularity voting is BS. People simply don’t vote for the most deserving athlete.

    • One has already been approved under the new rules. 
    • There is a transgender volleyball player here in Brazil; there was even a recent controversy (this year) when a city banned her from playing in a certain competition, which ended up in court, ultimately in her favor.   But the situation is much simpler than that; the reason for this decision is because of the two female boxers who won at Paris 2024 (who apparently are not transgender).
    • Women's Ice Hockey IIHF Division II Group B World Championship 2026   Hong Kong (HKG) - 30 March 2026 - 5 April 2026     Official Website Programme Results System Facebook Page Discussion Thread
    • there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷
    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
    • Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).
    • Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.   
    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
