I think it goes back longer than that TBH. The Romans liked a little flutter on the chariot races, but it wasn't the sole driver
it does for sure, i was simply making a point.
agree with the rest.
In reality i shouldn't be shocked at the Halbergs, which seem to track along to their own agenda. Over-weighting Olympic achievement may be viable if we had an athletics gold, a single gymnastics discipline seems a bit stupid.

subjective
There is a degree of subjectivity. Jockey has to obey the rules and ride fair, transgression of which is a judgement call.
But yeah, first across the line (generally) wins.
Same with all sports that have a referee or umpire

@Stargazer said in Halberg Awards:
Yeah! Wayne Smith wins the Coach of the Year award!
Other nominees very good but there was only ever one result in that category
Same goes for Sportswoman. Zoi wins easily. -

@Stargazer said in Halberg Awards:
Sportsman of the Year is Nico Porteous (snow sport- freeskiing).
As predicted a while back, Olympic golds and World Cups usually triumph at the Halbergs.

This is weird, I have no memory of there a. being a winter Olympics last year, and b. NZ winning two Golds. But at the least I must have read about it here.
Damn, it's a bit early for early onset dementia.
Winter Olympics are cool, but they're not the X-Games

How do Gen Y and beyond feel about being forced to compete in the X Games?

Y? X? I get them confused. Which is the one that can’t pull its pants up?

The supreme Halberg Award goes to Zoi Sadowski-Synnott.
The correct choice, given she won an Olympic gold and silver.
