PR Sreejesh, the great wall of Indian hockey, who inspired the Indian Men’s Hockey Team’s historic Bronze Medal win at Tokyo Olympics 2020, has been nominated for the World Games Athlete of the Year award for 2021.
This will be the Ninth edition of the IWGA initiative that recognises and honours an athlete or a team for their outstanding performance in 2021, or for their social commitment or particularly fair behaviour.
A total of 24 athletes from 17 countries have been nominated for this award from their respective sports by their international federations. The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has recommended our stalwart goalkeeper PR Sreejesh’s name for his outstanding efforts in the year 2021.
The winner of this prestigious award will be selected following an online voting process that begins on January 10 and ends on January 31.
In 2019, the Indian Women’s Hockey team Captain Rani won the same award and became not only the first Indian, but the first-ever hockey player to win the honour.
