Sportsman of the year (Netherlands)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dutch Sportsman of the Year , Sportman van het jaar and Sportvrouw van het jaar , have been chosen by Dutch sports journalists since 1951 . The election is organized by the Dutch Olympic Committee . The winners will receive a small bronze figure by Jaap Eden as a trophy .

The honor arose in 1951 on the initiative of the Dutch sports journalist Tom Schreurs (1896–1956) and the Algemene Vereniging Radio Omroep (AVRO) , German "Allgemeine Rundfunkvereinigung". From 1951 to 1958 no distinction was made between the "athletes" and the "athletes of the year". For this period, they are summarized below in the list of “Sportsman of the Year”.

The figure skater Sjoukje Dijkstra (from 1959 to 1964) and the cyclist Leontien Zijlaard-van Moorsel (between 1990 and 2004) were elected six times each . The judoka Anton Geesink (between 1957 and 1965), the speed skater Ard Schenk (between 1966 and 1972) and the apparatus gymnast Epke Zonderland (between 2009 and 2013) were each elected four times .
