The top 10 names have been announced for our "Sportsperson of the year" awards. The official ceremony is going to be later this month, where the final standings will be known.

 

Unsurprisingly the top 10 consists of the 7 Olympic medalists + Euroleague MVP Aleksander Vezenkov, WBA Regular Heavyweight champion Kubrat Pulev and of course Grigor Dimitrov.

 

From 11th to 20th were also announced, again in no order. I suppose the full voting will be released after the ceremony.

Tbf what does have the higher odds in life, be a world champion in a minor sport or get into the squad of an elite football club?
