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.

Other nominees very good but there was only ever one result in that category
Same goes for Sportswoman. Zoi wins easily.

[Crucial]

[Stargazer]

@Crucial It is! Well-deserved!

[Stargazer]

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 correct choice, given she won an Olympic gold and silver.

[Dan54]

@Bovidae yep, no arguments with her winning, and to be fair, couldn't argue with any of the award winners, mightn't all be in my sports, but pretty deserving anyway.
