Laureus World Sports Award for Breakthrough of the Year

 * Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 13:53, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

The last one in the series! I'll do the speech later, but many thanks to everone who's helped with the project so far. I know there are two other Larueus lists at FLC now, but both have four supports and have gone throw the rigorous review of those I trust to leave no stone unturned, so I'm happy to run this review concurrently. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:53, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

That's all I got. Huge congrats on bringing the whole series to featured status! If you nominate the Laureas Awards for featured topic I'll definitely offer my support. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 21:29, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Infobox
 * awarded for: Laureus has updated. Should be (or part of):
 * Awarded to the sportsperson or team whose performance as a newcomer suggests the greatest potential for an outstanding career or to an established sportsman or sportswoman who produces a significant step-up in class to a considerably higher level of sporting achievement.

Prose
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:27, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "...although seven teams have been nominated..." - should be eight, is missing Switzerland Davis Cup team 2015
 * Oops, done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:27, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I swapped the "seven" to eight. JennyOz (talk) 05:15, 12 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Ref 9 (Shipnuck sports illustrated) supporting Garcia v Tiger does not work for me. This does.
 * Odd one this, the link was noted above as being dead so I changed it. I wonder if your viewed a cached or old version of the list?  I replaced it and tried the link I replaced it with both at work this morning and at home this evening, seems fine to me, could you confirm?  The Rambling Man (talk) 20:27, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, that fix happened after I'd started my notes, sorry. I'm not sure how Sports Illustrated/Golf works. Shipnuck originally wrote that piece in 1999 (per SI url above, with a longer title, and per new Golf cite intro) but I'm only confused, not fussed. Verifiability works either way!

 * 2007 Xavier Carter - Sprint (running)
 * 2008 Tyson gay - Sprint (running)
 * 2008 Pistorius - Sprint (running)
 * 2010 Cavendish - road and track but his achievements in 2009 were on road, so Road bicycle racing?

Other
 * 2017 Leicester City - you used the F.C. in other Laureus list
 * Added F.C. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:00, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I added it in table at 2017 as well. Okay? JennyOz (talk) 05:15, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

(Interesting re Pistorios - his 2007 nom for breakthrough in para sprints but his second 'breakthrough' (2012 nom) was for breaking into non-disabled events in 2011. So he was nominated in both Breakthrough and Sportsperson with a Disability (won) in 2012. Nothing to change on this list, just mentioning:) Fascinating fellow.)
 * National teams - I notice you added a "men's" to the Ghana national football team at 2007, and to Fiji sevens and Iceland football teams at 2017. Fully agree with this as their countries also have national women's teams. Was it intentional to not do same for Afghanistan national cricket team (2014) and Chile football (2016)?
 * No intention actually, I've clarified (I think) the men's teams where applicable. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:00, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Fascinating, tragic, ..... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:00, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Refs


 * Ref 30 2009 noms - Anthony Kim, usa golf, is not on Laureus noms page. Appears to be a Laureus website error? He is sort of mentioned here. Found it also here. Swap ref to the AIPS if it's RS?
 * Added a reference from Dawn. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:50, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ref 36 Laureus labels McIlroy UK - matters only in Stats / Winners by nationality table?
 * Meh, the GBR vs UK debate can rage on for millennia. He would be a GBR competitor in sporting terms.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:50, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ref 43 ESPN date 15 April 2015 should be 16 April
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:50, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
