Olympian1010 7,477 Posted October 10, 2019 #4623 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The 100th Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded on Friday. They heavy favorite to take the honor is Greta Thunberg. However, she will need to be out 300 other nominees from all over the world. Among those 301 (including Thunberg) mommies 78 are organizations and the rest are people. Other favorites according CNN and betting bookies are Reporters Without Borders, Abey Ahmed (Prime Minster of Ethiopia), Jacinda Ardern (Prime Minister of New Zealand), UN Human Rights Council (the most undeserving favorite), and a Indigenous Brazilian chief who’s a leader in the fight to save the Amazon. The Nominees and nominators will not officially be known for another 50 years. It is unknown of US President Donald Trump was nominated. If I was to nominate a candidate it would have been the World Taekwondo Foundation for their work in the Syrian refugee camps. Thier are some other really cool positive charities that I hope get the chance too. I personally would be massively surprised if Greta Thunberg fails to win. We should totally “give out” a Totallympics peace prize. We could also do a sports science prize, sportsmanship prize, and an inspiration prize. I think that would be fun. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

TomJa 64 Posted October 10, 2019 #4624 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I agree that Greta Thunberg deserves Nobel. What she did deserves to be rewarded. But on the other hand, isn't 15 too young to give such an award? Apparently in 2014 she got Malala Yousafzai, who was then 17 years old. I know, I know that the main award criterion is not age, but merit. We can make a literary and sports book that you think deserves Nobel Totallympics. Add to this other criteria, such as event of the year, athlete, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is that and what did I miss?
