On the eve of the year's first world championships, the World Athletics Indoor Championships Glasgow 24, the International Committee for Fair Play (CIFP), in partnership with World Athletics, is inviting fans around the world to nominate their iconic fair play moments. . We aim to recognize outstanding athletes or moments at the World Athletics Awards later this year.
As was the case last year, the nomination period includes all World Athletics Series (WAS) and Continental Tour events throughout the year, as well as the 2024 Paris Olympics. This will include more moments from different events around the world, strengthening the pool of eligible athletes and potential candidates.
After the final Continental Tour event of the year in September, the jury will review the nominations and judge based on a shortlist of five Fair Play Moments in Athletics from 2024.
Fans will then be asked to vote for the finalists they feel best exemplify fair play through World Athletics' social media channels. These votes, combined with the judges' votes, will determine the three finalists for the Fair Play Award. The winner will be announced at the World Athletics Awards in Monaco later this year.
To nominate an athlete or moment for the Fair Play Award, please email fairplayaward@worldathletics.org.
Letesenbet Gidey was last year's winner. After she won silver in the women's 10,000 meters at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Guidi returned to console Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands after Hassan suffered a dramatic fall on the home straight.
CIFP was founded 60 years ago to promote the principles of fair play in sport: fair competition, respect, friendship, team spirit, equality and doping-free sport. The award honors athletes who respect the written and unwritten rules of sport, including integrity, unity, tolerance, consideration, excellence and joy, and who set an example for others on and off the field. CIFP's first collaboration with the World Athletics Championships dates back to the 2003 World Athletics Championships in Paris. Since then, 11 awards have been awarded.
