The nominations for the 25th Laureus World Sports Awards have been announced, marking the countdown to the most prestigious night in sport, to be staged in Madrid on April 22. Six Nominees have been selected in each of the traditional seven Award categories by the 1,300 members of the Laureus Global Media Panel. For Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability, a vote was cast by the International Paralympic Committee. Alongside the elite categories, the Laureus Sport for Good Award will go to a programme which reflects the inspirational words of Laureus’ first Patron, Nelson Mandela, who said that “Sport had the power to change the world”.
But what makes these awards unique is the final stage of the judging process: a vote by the 69 members of the Laureus World Sports Academy - Olympic champions, world-record breakers, athletes who redefined their sports and who now make up the ultimate jury on sporting greatness.
