Sportsman of the year (Slovakia)
As in many other countries, an athlete of the year (original name: Športovec roka ) is chosen every year in Slovakia . He has been elected by the Association of Slovak Sports Journalists since 1993. Before this time, it took place in the joint state with the Czech Republic in Czechoslovakia .
Both individual athletes and successful teams are selected. Women and men are selected in a common category. So far, the award has been given to fourteen different athletes. The most successful individual athletes are Martina Moravcová (swimming) with six awards and Michal Martikán (canoe slalom) with four awards.
The team award has so far been achieved by ten teams from eight different sports disciplines. The most successful are the four-man kayak team with six awards and the Slovak national ice hockey team with five awards.
