Although this award is the "Oscars of Sports", but the judging criteria itself is more friendly to individual projects.
The best male athletes are Schumacher, Armstrong, Bolt, Deyo, Vettel, Nadal, and the big boys of individual sports.
Meanwhile, all the best female sports so far have also been monopolized by individual events represented by Wie.
Obviously, Laureus can be extremely unfriendly to the big boys of collective projects.
But it was Lionel Messi, who broke the monopoly of individual events on Laureus' best male athletes in 2020 with his performance in 2019. Even so, it was an award that Messi could only share with Hamilton at the time.
Then in 2021 and 2022, the award went to Rafael Nadal and Verstappen respectively, while the women were Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka and Jamaican sprinter Elaine Thompson.
It's not that these individual athletes aren't great enough to deserve the honor, of course, but that the award's criteria may not be fair to collective athletes.
But it does not matter, Messi late last year let all sports awards in 2023 lost suspense, if there are still people who can rank in front of Messi before this achievement, it is irony.
Today get this award Messi, is the award ever, for the first time by a collective project athletes only. To be honest, if the collective project athletes to do Messi this degree to dye, may still be too harsh.
But because of this, Messi exclusive this award, than get this award, more meaningful and sense of achievement.
And before the Laureus Awards may be soccer these collective projects have a "bias", then this year let Messi exclusive, can be said to be rubbing soccer rubbing Messi.
Of course, the awards ceremony will be held in Paris, France, on May 8 (that is, today).
Now the pressure comes to the superpower club Paris Saint-Germain, I do not know if Paris has extra training today, Messi's leave can be approved.
Good luck to Messi to arrive at the venue ~
