At the end of every year, the best of the year are determined by the International Kurash Association.
Those who achieved the best results during the year are recognized as winners in “The best athlete of the year”, “The best coach of the year”, “The best referee of the year” and many other nominations.
Until now, the winners were selected and announced by the IKA special commission.
In 2024, it was decided that the names of the winners will be determined based on a new system.
According to the system, every year by December 7th, technical directors of all continental confederations, the heads of sports, referees and education committees will select the candidates of their continent and present them to IKA.
The International Kurash Association will organize an open voting system for all candidates in each category on December 9th.
Voting is open to everyone. You can support your candidacy in the survey published on the official website of the International Kurash Association.
Voting ends on December 20th.
The names of the candidates with the most votes will be announced by the International Kurash Association on December 24th.
Currently, the technical preparations of this system are being discussed.
