Ireen Wüst
SPEED SKATING
Regarded as the most successful speed skater ever, Ireen Wüst first achieved a spot in the Dutch Olympic team in 2006. In Turin, she became the youngest Dutch gold medalist at the Winter Games, starting a sequence of results that would made history. Winning at least one gold medal in each of her Winter Olympic appearances, she is the only athlete to win an individual gold medal in five consecutive Olympics, Summer or Winter. Not only she is the most successful athlete from the Netherlands at the Olympics, in Beijing she also became the oldest Speed Skating gold medalist in the history of the Winter Games. "Words can't describe her class", said fellow competitor Brittany Bowe after the 1500m event at the 2022 Olympics; "she is the greatest of all-time, as her performance shows". Indeed, Wüst's career more than earned her a place in our Hall of Fame.

The year in sports brought us a lot of joy, tears and excitement, not only for the athletes competing, but for Totallympics members around the world. As we say goodbye to the returning edition of our annual awards, here's hope that 2023 can also be a memorable year for all sports fans. For now, we'll remember the moments that united us in 2022, presenting the theme song for this edition: TISC winner "Superheroes", by Irish band The Script.
 
 

 
Thank you all! Have a great year and until the next Totallympics Awards!

Welcome to the 2022 edition of the Totallympics Awards, a celebration of the year in sports!
 
From the Winter Olympics in Beijing to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, 2022 gave amazing moments for sports fans across the world, which, of course, includes our esteemed Totallympics members. Throughout this next hour, we'll unveil the winners for the 11 competitive categories as voted by our users, as well as a special award for those who make Totallympics the best sports forum on the internet. Thanks to their lifetime achievements, we'll be also celebrating sports personalities who retired this year, which will enter the prestigious Totallympics Hall of Fame. Hope you all enjoy!
 

Some special thanks to @Sindo for supporting the return of the awards, even when I thought it wouldn't be successful. To the members who helped me with projects for the awards: @Dragon @Games and Rings @intoronto @JoshMartini007 @Mkbw50 @Olympian1010 @Vojthas. And of course to all the 38 of you who voted (list here) or followed the awards
 
As I followed the same format of the previous editions (which were almost a decade before), I'm aware that some things need to change. Hopefully, by the end of this year we'll have more time to discuss all the suggestions made here in order to improve our awards.

Thank you all! Have a great year and until the next Totallympics Awards!
 

I did videos for the old editions too, but sadly now they're gone. So this will be the first of (hopefully) many more

Really happy you brought these back @vinipereira 

Thanks for an amazing award ceremony and huge congratulations to @vinipereira on the beautiful presentation! 
 
Now I’m really looking forward and excited for the sporting year ahead  

I hope so! I'm not kidding when I say this could easily be one of those end-of-year videos national broadcasters show in some late December/early January overview of the year.
