Halberg Awards
-
I never know how they actually choose winners of this thing, but the Black Caps winning the WTC is a feat that is unlikely to be replicated. We were punching so far above our weight to win that thing it's not even funny. We'll probably win the T20 or ODI WC's at some point as there's so much luck involved there, but not the tests, that's where your depth of talent gets tested to the maximum.

Expect Nico and Zoi to feature next year as these awards are for the sporting year from 1 December 2019 to 30 November 2021.
Olympic gold medallists usually win in an Olympic year so the likes of Bond, Carrington and the eights will be a good pick. The team will be the hardest to decide.
Stamenic or Fairweather for Emerging Talent.

Yes. From their website:
The 59th ISPS Handa Halberg Awards ceremony will recognise achievements in the 2020 and 2021 years, due to the impact of Covid-19 on international sport the Awards ceremony in 2021 was a ‘Decade Champion’ celebration.

Those judges do love their Olympians, don't they.
Personally, I think the cricketers burgling their way to a WTC final and then winning it is a bigger achievement. Took an extended period of success, and one that is very very unlikely to ever be achieved again by us. By comparison, 5 gold medals is amazing - but the table below shows it's been done a hundred times or so. So awesome, but in a niche sport. The scale of the challenge climbed by the Black Caps tips them for me.
That said, our most successful Olympian, so can see why the judges broke the way they did.

Cricket is also a niche sport, with only 10 test nations!

Happy to have a discussion comparing cricket with kayak racing. Only ten nations, but it includes India (and Pakistan), which means billions following it.

The winners will be announced at the 60th ISPS Handa Halberg Awards ceremony at Spark Arena, Auckland on Wednesday 15 February 2023 and broadcast live on Sky Sport and free to air on Prime TV from 8:30pm.
The event will be both a significant milestone of achievement and one of reflection and remembrance as the first Awards ceremony since the passing of the man whose name adorns this occasion. The late Sir Murray Halberg (ONZ) re-established the Awards in 1963 to honour and celebrate sporting excellence, and most importantly, the occasion formed the major fundraiser for the Halberg Foundation. Sir Murray established the charity which aims to enhance the lives of physically disabled young New Zealanders by enabling them to participate in sport and recreation. -
JMac not making even as a finalist is a fucking travesty
approximately a thousand Group 1s last year, including several big ones. Won in HK. Winner of the World's Best Jockey award for the year.
-
Will get the usual complaint from people who don't respect horse racing, but the fact James McDonald - who is officially rated as the best jockey in the world - cannot get the nod ahead of some of these sportsman of the year finalists is nothing short of farcical.
EDIT: fuk u @mariner4life for posting just before me.
-
With all due respect to the other nominees, this is an absolute travesty of epic proportions. Not sure how the worlds best jockey can be overlooked like this.
