Die Laureus World Sports Awards FAST FACTS – DIE LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS AWARDS Die jährliche Vergabe der Laureus World Sports Awards ist die einzige weltweite Preisverleihung, mit der die besten Sportlerinnen und Sportler für ihre Leistungen in allen Disziplinen geehrt werden. Die Laureus World Sports Awards wurden am 17. Februar 2020 zum 21. Mal vergeben. Jährlich verfolgen mehrere Millionen Zuschauer in 160 Ländern die Laureus-Zeremonie. Die Laureus World Sports Awards wurden im Jahr 1999 durch die Daimler AG und Richemont ins Leben gerufen. Die zu der Daimler AG und Richemont gehörenden Marken Mercedes-Benz und IWC Schaffhausen sind die Hauptpartner von Laureus. Es gibt ein zweiteiliges Auswahlverfahren zur Ermittlung der Gewinner der Laureus World Sports Awards. Zuerst nominiert ein Gremium von weltweit führenden Sportredakteuren, Sportautoren und Sportreportern aus über 100 Ländern sechs Personen (bzw. Teams) für jede Kategorie. Die Stimmen werden durch die unabhängige Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP kollationiert, dann bestimmen die Mitglieder der Laureus World Sports Academy in geheimer Wahl die Gewinner. Die Laureus World Sports Academy besteht aus 69 legendären Sportlerinnen und Sportlern aus der ganzen Welt. Ihr Vorsitzender ist die neuseeländische Rugby-Legende Sean Fitzpatrick. Es gibt fünf Kategorien, die von den internationalen Medien und der Akademie gewählt werden: Laureus World Sportsman of the Year, Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year, Laureus World Team of the Year, Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year und Laureus World Comeback of the Year. In zwei weiteren Kategorien wird von Spezialistengremien gewählt: der/die Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year, von weltweit führenden Berichterstattern des alternativen Sports und der/die Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability; diese Kategorie wird vom Exekutivkomitee des Internationalen Paralympischen Komitees bestimmt. Es gibt weitere Ehrungen, die durch die Gründer und die Akademie vergeben werden können: Den Laureus Spirit of Sport Award, den Laureus Sporting Inspiration Awards sowie den Laureus Sport for Good Award, der an Personen und Projekte verliehen wird, die einen herausragenden Beitrag für die Gesellschaft geleistet haben. Die Laureus Academy kann weitere Laureus-Awards ausloben und vergeben. So wurde 2019 zusätzlich der Laureus Academy Exceptional Achievement Award sowie der Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award verliehen. Laureus ist das lateinische Wort für Lorbeer - das universale Symbol für den Sieg im Sport. Jeder Gewinner erhält eine exklusiv von Cartier hergestellte Laureus Statuette. Der universale Charakter des Sports wird durch eine Darstellung der fünf Kontinente hervorgehoben, die auf dem Sockel eingraviert sind. Die Statuetten sind 30 cm hoch und wiegen 2,5 kg. Jede der Figuren enthält 670 g gediegenes Silber und hat einen 650 g schweren vergoldeten Sockel. Neben ihrer Rolle bei der Ehrung sportlicher Leistungen durch die Laureus World Sports Awards haben Daimler und Richemont in Partnerschaft mit der Laureus World Sports Academy ein innovativ karitatives Unternehmen errichtet - die Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. Diese Stiftung wird durch die Gründer jährlich mit einer Spende von einer Million Euro unterstützt. 2020 LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS AWARDS WINNERS Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Lewis Hamilton/ Lionel Messi Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Simone Biles Laureus World Team of the Year South Africa Rugby Union Team Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Egan Bernal Laureus World Comeback of the Year Sophia Flörsch Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability Oksana Masters Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year Chloe Kim Laureus Sporting Moment 2000-2020 Sachin Tendulkar Laureus Sport for Good Award South Bronx United Laureus Academy Exceptional Achievement Award Spanish Basketball Federation Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award Dirk Nowitzki 2019 LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS AWARDS WINNERS Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Novak Djokovic Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Simone Biles Laureus World Team of the Year France World Cup Team Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Naomi Osaka Laureus World Comeback of the Year Tiger Woods Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability Henrieta Farkašová Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year Chloe Kim Laureus Sport for Good Award Yuwa Laureus Spirit of Sport Award Lindsey Vonn Laureus Best Sporting Moment of the Year Xia Boyu Laureus Academy Exceptional Achievement Award Eluid Kipchoge Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award Arsène Wenger 2018 LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS AWARDS WINNERS Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Roger Federer Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Serena Williams Laureus World Team of the Year Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Sergio Garcia Laureus World Comeback of the Year Roger Federer Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability Marcel Hug Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year Armel le Cléac’h Laureus Sport for Good Award Active Communities Network Laureus Sporting Inspiration J.

  • The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany
    The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany Gudrun DOLL-TEPPER, Prof.Dr. （Free University Berlin / German Olympic Sports Confederation） Introduction In 2006, the “German Sports Confederation” （Deutscher Sportbund） and the “National Olympic Committee for Germany” （Nationales Olympisches Komitee für Deutschland） merged, and the “German Olympic Sports Confederation”（Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund/DOSB） became the umbrella sport organisation in Germany. In this paper, the main goals of this merging process, some historical developments, as well as current structures and issues will be discussed with a focus on the relations between the DOSB and disability sport organisations, in particular the “German Disability Sport Organisation”（Deutscher Behindertensportverband）, which also serves as the “National Paralympic Committee Germany ” （Nationales Paralympisches Komitee）. Both organisations are working together in a variety of programmes and projects, e.g. in the preparation of bids to host Olympic and Paralympic Games. “Inclusion” has become a keyword for many initiatives in German sports, particularly regarding the implementation of the “UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities”, which entered into force in March 2009. 1. A look back: Sport developments in Germany after World War II After World War II Germany was divided into the “Federal Republic of Germany” （FRG, West Germany） and the “German Democratic Republic” （GDR, East Germany）. As a consequence, this division existed also in the newly established sport 1 Journal of Paralympic Research Group vol.5 organisations（see Deutscher Sportbund 1990）: the “National Olympic Committee for Germany”（NOK für Deutschland） was founded in 1949 and the “NOC for the GDR” followed in 1951.
