heywoodu 13,565 Posted December 23, 2021 #296 Share Posted December 23, 2021 The Dutch awards were yesterday, for both 2020 and 2021 (two-in-one). Jetze Plat was voted Paralympic athlete of the year, the track cycling sprinters were Team of the year and the female and male prizes, rather unsurprisingly, went to Sifan Hassan and Max Verstappen. Excellent choices all over the place Ted 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Makedonas 1,614 Posted December 23, 2021 #298 Share Posted December 23, 2021 PSAT Awards (from Greek journalists) : Male athlete of the year: Giannis Antetokounmpo (basketball) Female athlete of the year: Maria Sakkari (tennis) Team of the year: Men's national team (water polo) Coach of the year: Thodoris Vlachos (water polo) Disabled male athlete of the year: Athanasios Ghavelas with guide Sotirios Gkaragkanis (athletics) Disabled female athlete of the year: Alexandra Stamatopoulou (swimming) Disabled team of the year: Mixed pairs BC3 (boccia) It's kind of funny that the male athlete of the year in an Olympic year was someone who didn't even go to the Olympics, but he was NBA Finals MVP so of course he had to win it because the whole world knows him. I personally think Miltiadis Tentoglou (long jump) deserved it the most. He had WL for indoor and outdoor, Olympic gold and European indoor gold. Really he was the best in the world in his sport and it still wasn't enough. Stefanos Ntouskos (rowing) also won Olympic gold. It was between Antetokounmpo, Tentoglou, and Ntouskos in the top 3. Crazy that Tsitsipas wasn't one of the three nominees (he was 5th in the preliminary vote), most other years he might have won but this was a really strong year for our men. Kostas Tsimikas (footballer for Liverpool) was 7th. I think Sakkari deserved it this year for the women (unlike last year when she won it which I didn't think she deserved), it was the first Olympics since 1988 that we didn't have any women win medals. Sakkari made the quarterfinals in mixed doubles and round of 16 in singles, losing close three set matches in both to eventual medal winners. She had nine wins over top 10 ranked opponents this year, made two Grand Slam semifinals and moved up from 22 to 6 in the rankings. The other two nominees were Ekaterini Stefanidi (pole vault) who got 4th at the Olympics, and Anna Ntountounaki (swimming) who won gold at the European Championships, two medals at the European Short Course Championships, 9th and 11th at the Olympics in her two events (one being a relay) and set many national records this year. Anna Korakaki (shooting) was 4th in the voting and did not make it to the final round, she got 6th place in both of her Olympic events this year. Side note: I'm disappointed that our rower Evangelia Fragkou was 39th out of the 39 female nominees. She competed in 4 events this year and won medals at all of them, including two gold (though they were both at European events, her other two medals were at World events). I'm not saying she should've been top 3 or even top 10, but she didn't deserve last place especially when other female rowers who didn't win as much as her were placed much higher.

She always speaks her mind even though I often disagree with her, I respect that she isn't afraid to give her opinions (on various issues including outside of sport too).
