Argentina's Sportsman of the Year
Argentina's Sportsman of the Year (Spanish Premios Olimpia ) is one of the most important sports awards in Argentina , which has been awarded annually since 1954 by the Sports Journalists Association of Buenos Aires (Spanish Círculo de Periodistas Deportivos de Buenos Aires) to the best athletes in the country. Until 1970, only one athlete received this award annually. Since then, the best athletes from every discipline have been awarded the silver Olimpia de Plata prize. The gold winners ( Olimpia de Oro ) are selected from these .
