Laureus World Sports Awards, abbreviated as Laureus Awards. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info was founded in 2000 by two major companies, Daimler and Richemont.

Daimler and Richemont don't sound very famous, but every brand under them can scare people to death, Daimler is a car manufacturer headquartered in Germany, it is the world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, the world's second largest luxury car manufacturer, the second largest truck manufacturer, subordinate brands Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and so on.

And Richemont is also very bullish, this is a Swiss luxury company, it is settled by South African billionaires? Founded in 1988, Rupert is a company with only four business segments: jewelry, watches, accessories and fashion. Since 2004, Richemont has been the world's second-largest luxury goods company in terms of turnover, ahead of the famous Louis? Vuitton, while in third place behind it is Printemp.

Among the more famous brands of Richemont Group are Vacheron Constantin, Baume & Mercier, IWC, Dunhill, Montblanc and so on.

The sports awards won by these two companies that have no friends together have naturally become one of the most influential awards in the world sports and the only global sports awards ceremony at present.

Originally, Lawrence means laurel in Latin, symbolizing victory. The Laureus Awards, which honors the world's most outstanding male and female athletes, are selected by more than 2,000 veteran sports journalists from more than 70 countries and regions who nominate the most outstanding athletes of the year, and then voted for by the 52 members of the Laureus Sport Academy, which is made up of the most outstanding retired athletes in their fields, each with a history of success.

Most of the people in the sports academy are athletes from European and American countries, such as football emperor Beckenbauer, Sebastian, and China also has an athlete among them, that is Deng Yaping.

The Laureus Awards, known as the Oscars of sports, is undoubtedly a worldwide sports award, having been held nine times since 2000, but only two people in China have won this award.

Da Yao won the Best Breakthrough Award in 2003, which was the first time a Chinese athlete lifted the Laureus Trophy, and Liu Feiren also won the Best Breakthrough Award in 2005 for his outstanding performance in the Athens Olympics.

Many people have studied the Laureus Awards, especially the Best Male and Female Athlete Awards, and found that the Laureus Awards are most preferred to be given to tennis players, and by 2008, there were a total of nine Laureus Awards, and seven of the best male and female athletes were awarded to tennis players, and last year's ninth Best Male and Female Athletes were all tennis players, and in addition to tennis, track and field and golf were tied for second place three times.

So if you want to win a Laureus Award, you don't have to have to do it well, you need to have a competition that meets the tastes of Europeans.

Sun Shiner learned early on that he had been nominated for the Laureus Award, which was not the Laureus Award of the Chinese copycat, but the Laureus Award, the Best Male Athlete nomination, and Sun Shiner became the first Chinese nominee to win the Laureus Best Male Athlete in the world.

However, Sun Shine didn't expect to win this award, the World Laureus Award, this is a world-class award, and winning it once is enough to prove that the world sports community affirms him.

The 2009 Laureus World Awards, due to the impact of the global financial crisis, did not have a general award ceremony, but very scattered awards, but this will not reduce the influence of the World Laureus Awards.

This year's Laureus World Awards record the outstanding athletes from January 2008 to December 2008, because 2008 is a big year for sports, especially the Olympic Games, a group of outstanding athletes have emerged, so who can win the Laureus Award for Best Male Athlete this year, that is absolutely golden.

There are six candidates for the best male athlete, Flying Fish Phelps of the United States, who won eight gold medals at last year's Olympics.

Nadal, the double champion of the French Open and Wimbledon, not only created four consecutive French Open titles, but also became the first player to win back-to-back French Open and Wimbledon titles since Borg in the seventies.

And then there's Cristiano Ronaldo, the world and European footballer of the year, who is in the limelight right now.

Hamilton, the youngest F1 World Champion, is also a formidable opponent, and his predecessor Michael Schumacher has won the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year twice.

The most obscure is the Italian Peter Pan, motorcycle rider Rossi.

Of course, Sun Shine's record is also very strong, he won eight gold medals in the Beijing Olympics, he is not much inferior to the flying fish Phelps, plus Sun Shiner has created four track and field world records, and each record is a record that surpasses the limits of human beings, which is not comparable to other athletes, to say that Sun Shine's only shortcoming, that is, he is a yellow race, not a European or American.

The strength of the competitors is strong, and his own race is not dominant, and Sun Shiner has no hope for this award at all.

But who knows that the Laureus Award is really fair and just, just now Li Yong received a call from the Laureus Award, and they notified Sun Shine that on June 10, Berlin will hold an award ceremony for Sun Shine, congratulating Sun Shine on winning the World Laureus Award for Best Male Athlete.

The Laureus World Awards are not those miscellaneous copycat awards, but world-class awards.

The Best Male Athlete Award is not a small award for those supporting roles, but the ultimate award.

Sun Shine became the first person in Chinese history, nay, Asian history to win the Laureus Best Male Athlete Award in the world, and this honorary award marks that Sun Shine has officially entered the ranks of greatness, and is recognized by others as a great athlete.

In fact, there is no problem with this award given to Sun Shine, in terms of strength, Sun Shine is the strongest among the six people, eight gold medals in a single Olympic Games, only Phelps can do this, but Phelps is an athlete in the swimming event, and the influence and track and field are incomparable, and Sun Shine's four gold medals in track and field events are all won in the way of breaking world records, including men's 100 meters and long jump events are claimed to have broken the physiological limits of human beings.

After Li Yong told Sun Shine the news, Sun Shine was also stunned, he really didn't expect that he could win this award, it was too unexpected, but soon Sun Shine's accident turned into excitement, this is an international award, which is of great help to enhance Sun Shine's reputation.

"Inform the domestic media and spread the word." Sun Shiner instructed Li Yong, wouldn't it be a waste if such a good opportunity was not promoted.

Without Sun Shine's orders, Li Yong has already begun to act. (To be continued.) )
