Lionel Messi, Novak Djokovic, Simone Biles, and Mikaela Shiffrin are just some of the athletes who will be competing for individual honors at the Laureus World Sports honors, which will take place in Madrid, Spain, during the month of April in the year 2024. The event will take place in the year 2024. 2024 is the year that the event is scheduled to take place.
On Monday, February 26, 2017, the announcement was made regarding the nominations for eight different award categories. On this particular day, the announcement was made to the public. The announcement emphasized a large number of Olympic winners, medalists, and celebrities, and these individuals are among the many that were included in the announcement: among the many who were included.
Laureus assembled a global media panel consisting of more than 1,300 members, and it was their responsibility to choose nominees for each of the seven principal award categories. Laureus was the one who made these nominations. Additionally, the International Paralympic Committee was tasked with the obligation of voting on the final nominees for the World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability Award throughout the course of the selection process. This responsibility was presented to the committee at various points throughout the process. These athletes are eligible to win this accolade if they have demonstrated that they have triumphed over medical problems.
A candidate for the World Sportsman of the Year award, Messi, who was the recipient of the title in 2023, is once again on the list of candidates for that distinction. Messi was the one who benefited from the accomplishment at that particular time. Additionally included on the list is Djokovic, who was victorious in three Grand Slam tennis tournaments in the year 2023 alone. It is worth noting that he has triumphed in three Masters competitions. The list also includes Noah Lyles, who won three gold medals at the World Athletics Championships, and Armand “Mondo” Duplantis, who currently holds the world record for the pole vault. Both of these athletes are considered to be some of the best athletes in the world. For the pole vault, both of these athletes have achieved a record-breaking performance. Over the course of their different athletic careers, these two athletes have each accomplished extraordinary feats.
Aitana Bonmatí, who won the football World Cup, and Iga Swiatek, who won the French Open tennis tournament, are both on the shortlist for the World Sportswoman of the Year award. Both of these athletes have won their respective tournaments. Achieving success in their respective sports is something that each of these sportsmen have accomplished. Shericka Jackson, Faith Kipyegon, and Sha’Carri Richardson are the three athletes that have been chosen to compete in the track and field competition and have been placed on the shortlist. Shiffrin, who went on to set the record for the most race victories in the Alpine Skiing World Cup a year later in 2023, is also included on the list. A mention of Shiffrin can be found on the list.
Biles is now in the lead for nominations in the World Comeback of the Year category. This is due to the fact that she has resumed her participation in the sport of artistic gymnastics after a period of two years of absence. The reason for this is that she won four gold medals in the World Championships, which made her the winner of the competition. The fact that she captured the first four gold medals in the World Championships is a significant contributor to her overall success at the competition.
Joshua Kerr, a runner from the United Kingdom, and Qin Haiyang, a swimmer from China, have both been put forward for consideration for the World Breakthrough of the Year award. This is in addition to the Olympic athletes who have previously been recognized for their exceptional performance. There is a consensus among experts that these two athletes belong to the same category. However, the World Action Sportsperson of the Year category is dominated by Olympic superstars like as Rayssa Leal and Bethany Shriever. There is a difference that can be made between this and the other categories on the list.
