@smudge said in Halberg Awards:
Isn't it up to the national sporting organisation to nominate the athlete?
I think so? It would be strange for them to nominate Adesanya & Bareman in 2019 but not for this 2 year period. That’s was why I thought the omissions were interesting.
I hope that crucials theory of political retribution is incorrect.
My guess it’s because of another disagreement (this one isn’t political)
Slight misrepresentation there.
His spiel directly accused the police and “bureaucrats “ of treating him differently because he’s black.
Add that to his record of controversial speaking and it wouldn’t surprise me if he is deemed to be a “risk”. -
No MMA nominations
That’s interesting when you consider Adesanya was the 2019 sportsman of the year for winning his belt. In the period for this award he’s defended the belt 3 times. But that doesn’t even get a nomination amongst this group:
Sportsman of the Year
Aaron Gate (track cycling), Andy Maloney (sailing), Campbell Stewart (track cycling), Chris Wood (football), Corbin Strong (track cycling), David Nyika (boxing), Dylan Schmidt (gymnastics), Finn Butcher (canoe slalom), George Bennett (road cycling), Hamish Bond (rowing), Hayden Wilde (triathlon), James McDonald (horse-racing), Josh Junior (sailing), Kane Williamson (cricket), Lewis Clareburt (swimming), Nico Porteous (freeskiing), Paul Coll (squash), Scott Curry (Rugby Sevens), Scott Dixon (motorsport), Scott McLaughlin (motorsport), Shane van Gisbergen (motorsport), Tom Walsh (athletics).

Reality is that is a list of some excellent sportsman, some next tier sportsman playing in the big leagues and some I've never even heard of despite following NZ sport to the extent I post on a sports forum about it.
It's beyond a joke to have no MMA representation.

I actually have little issue in not being able to win it for the above reasons. But to not get nominated is simply not good enough.
There is no way somebody who came 11th in the premier league in scoring statistics is the NZ sportsman of the year nominee ahead of an actual world champion in a growing sport unless there is outside political involvement.

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.

Stamenic or Fairweather for Emerging Talent.
