Christine Sinclair

FOOTBALL

2023 was the farewell year from international competitions for many football players, but few have had the impact of Christine Sinclair. Having played over 20 years for Canada, she has participated in 6 FIFA World Cups and 4 Olympic Games, captaining the team to third-place finishes in 2012 and 2016 and a historic gold medal in 2020. Along with the fact that she is one of only three players to score at five World Cup editions, Sinclair is officially the all-time world leader in international goals scored by men or women, with 190 goals. Shortlisted for FIFA Women's Player of the Year a total of seven times, she was referred by college teammate Megan Rapinoe as "the best player to never win the award". Indeed, her legacy and a brilliant career more than justifies a place in our Hall of Fame.

I dont think we should be revealing out votes here. Correct me if I'm wrong @vinipereira

It's okay. It would be a problem if everyone shared their favourites, though (just because of the "surprise" factor).

I believe it's not a bad thing the sport moment of the year is from a major sport. These are the sports that most of us watch, the memories that we share. Even if a moment in a smaller sport was exciting for me, as a community these big moments on swimming, athletics, tennis, etc. unite us.

Also, it's very hard from something out of the usual to be nominated since people vote for many (and sometimes very specific) different moments, some of which I didn't even knew had happened. My favourite moment this year was definitely the one by Adriana Diaz and Bruna Takahashi after the singles gold medal match at the Pan American Games (especially moving considering they've known each other since they were children).
