Sportske novosti awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from SN Sportsman of the Year)

Sportske novosti awards (Croatian: Nagrade Sportskih novosti) refer to annual sports awards given by Sportske novosti, a Zagreb-based Croatian daily sports newspaper. The awards originated in the 1950s and went on to become one of the most prestigious Croatian awards in sports. The winners are decided by polling sports journalists.[1]

History

[edit]

Sportske novosti was founded in 1945 and it first began awarding the Yugoslav Sportsman of the Year and Yugoslav Sportswoman of the Year awards in 1950 for greatest achievements in Yugoslav sports. The award, one of several Yugoslav national-level sporting awards, was given every year between 1950 and 1990, when it was discontinued due to the breakup of Yugoslavia.

In 1952 the newspaper launched a parallel award for Croatian athletes which honored best sporting achievements by athletes hailing from SR Croatia (1952–90). Following Croatia's independence, the Yugoslav competition was discontinued, while the Croatian category was kept to the present day. In 1966 a separate category was introduced honoring best Yugoslav sports team, and in 1973 the award was split into separate categories for men's and women's team sports.

Since inception, all awards are selected through a poll of sports journalists from around the country who are members of the Croatian Association of Sports Journalists (Hrvatski zbor sportskih novinara), the national professional association for sports writers established in 1949.

Award winners in all categories are collectively referred to as the "Golden Roll" (Zlatna lista), and the winners are usually announced in early January for the preceding year. It is considered one of the two most prestigious sporting awards in Croatia, on par with the annual awards handed out by the Croatian Olympic Committee.

Among men, winners with most individual awards won include table tennis player Dragutin Šurbek, tennis star Goran Ivanišević, and skier Ivica Kostelić, with five awards each. As for women, the record holder is discus thrower Sandra Perković with nine wins, followed by skier Janica Kostelić with eight, and high jumper Blanka Vlašić with six awards.
