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 06. Mai 2021 zum 22. 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*innen der Laureus World Sports Awards. Zuerst nominiert ein Gremium von weltweit führenden Sportredakteur*innen, Sportautor*innen und Sportreporter*innen 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*innen. • Die Laureus World Sports Academy besteht aus 73 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*innen 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 Programme 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. • Jede/r Gewinner*in 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. 2021 LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS AWARDS WINNERS Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Rafael Nadal Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Naomi Ōsaka Laureus World Team of the Year FC Bayern München Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Patrick Mahomes Laureus World Comeback of the Year Max Parrot Laureus Sport for Good Award KICKFORMORE by KICKFAIR Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award Billie Jean King Laureus Athlete Advocate of the Year Award Lewis Hamilton Laureus Sporting Inspiration Award Mohamed Salah Laureus Sporting Moment of the Year Award Chris Nikic 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.

From 29th June until 21st July, France once again lived in a bubble. And the whole world watched as Chris Froome won the stages to Ax 3 Domaines, Mont Ventoux and the individual time trial in Chorges, then defended his yellow jersey all the way to the finish in Paris. This year has already seen the British rider win two big stage races, the Tour de Romandie in Switzerland and the Critérium du Dau- phiné in France. His impressive athletic performance over the Tour’s 3,400 kilometre (2,110 mile) route in July saw him win his first Tour de France ahead of Colombia’s Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas and Joaquin Rodriguez Oliver of Spain. To celebrate the 100th edition of the Tour de France, this year’s Grande Boucle started with three stages in Corsica – the first time the Tour has ever visited the Mediterranean island. In another bold step, the race didn’t start with its normal prologue this year.

  • Skate Life: Re-Imagining White Masculinity by Emily Chivers Yochim
    /A7J;(?<; technologies of the imagination new media in everyday life Ellen Seiter and Mimi Ito, Series Editors This book series showcases the best ethnographic research today on engagement with digital and convergent media. Taking up in-depth portraits of different aspects of living and growing up in a media-saturated era, the series takes an innovative approach to the genre of the ethnographic monograph. Through detailed case studies, the books explore practices at the forefront of media change through vivid description analyzed in relation to social, cultural, and historical context. New media practice is embedded in the routines, rituals, and institutions—both public and domestic—of everyday life. The books portray both average and exceptional practices but all grounded in a descriptive frame that ren- ders even exotic practices understandable. Rather than taking media content or technol- ogy as determining, the books focus on the productive dimensions of everyday media practice, particularly of children and youth. The emphasis is on how specific communities make meanings in their engagement with convergent media in the context of everyday life, focusing on how media is a site of agency rather than passivity. This ethnographic approach means that the subject matter is accessible and engaging for a curious layperson, as well as providing rich empirical material for an interdisciplinary scholarly community examining new media. Ellen Seiter is Professor of Critical Studies and Stephen K. Nenno Chair in Television Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Her many publi- cations include The Internet Playground: Children’s Access, Entertainment, and Mis- Education; Television and New Media Audiences; and Sold Separately: Children and Parents in Consumer Culture.
