Science of Sport awards: Sports science story of the year

Ross · 30 Dec 2011 ·

Looking back on 2011, but through an academic lens, leaves the impossible task of trying to pick a research highlight. I guess in much the same way as your choice of a Sports Star of the Year would be influenced by your choice of sport (Messi, Djokovic, Cavendish or Wellington), the choice of most exciting […]

Science of Sport Awards: More controversies

Ross · 29 Dec 2011 ·

Having earlier awarded “Controversy of the Year” to the Oscar Pistorius story, here are some other noteworthy controversies that affected sport in 2011. Caster Semenya – back on the stage Caster Semenya was undoubtedly the big controversy of 2009, when she won the 800m world title amid speculation and tests about her gender. 2010 was […]

Science of Sport Awards: Website of the year

Ross · 23 Dec 2011 ·

Choosing a best website is an impossible task, because it depends very much what you are looking for. My criteria for a great website include insight and analysis – I don’t wish to simply read about what happened, because chances are, if I’m a sports fan, I’ve already seen it. I don’t wish to wake […]
