Once a year, we gather to recognize those who have truly made their mark on the city’s sports scene: from the home-run hitters and KO punchers to those who lift up their mates when all seems lost. They’re our friends, our family and, occasionally, our blood-thirsty rivals.
This year, The Camel and That’s Shanghai Sports Awards will take place February 16, with voting opening February 1.
This year's nominations for this year’s 7th annual ceremony include three new categories for our future superstars: Under 18’s Team of the Year, Coach of the Year and Player of the Year as well as a raffle fundraiser for the Baobei foundation. After last year's fundraising heroics, we will also be recognizing the sports team that raises the most money for charity over the course of the awards.
And now, without further ado, here are the nominations for this year's sports awards:
