Since its inauguration in 2008, National Federations and LEN Officials are voting in higher and higher numbers to select the best ones of the aquatic disciplines. The 2017 World Championships had the biggest weight in assessing the respective athletes\u2019 performances though other major events might also be taken into consideration, like the European Championships in swimming (short-course) and in diving, or the Champions League and Euro League in water polo.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Percentages show that each sport had its most outstanding athlete in the last year, almost all wins can be labelled decisive. Adam Peaty\u2019s one in swimming was the most overwhelming as he received almost 80% of the votes while retaining his title from last year. Golds and world records at the World Championships, gold and a European record at the short-course Europeans rocketed the British lion to the top once more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sarah Sjostrom was picked for the first time, she also got a large share (70%) while halting Hungary\u2019s <strong>Katinka Hosszu<\/strong>\u2019s march who finished atop in the previous four elections. The Swede can look back to a really exceptional season with three world titles, six new world records, an overall World Cup victory and a six-medal haul at the short-course Europeans in Copenhagen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">British divers maintained their run among the men, this was their third straight win. After <strong>Jack Laugher<\/strong>\u2019s triumph in 2016, platform world champion Tom Daley topped the ranks once again after 2009 and 2015. Among the women <strong>Nadezhda Bazhina<\/strong> earned her first-ever award (also a first for Russia in this category). She had two medals in the women\u2019s events at the Worlds, the only European female diver standing twice on the podium, making her a worthy successor of <strong>Tania Cagnotto<\/strong> (the Italian, who finisher her illustrious career, received the LEN Awards a record 7 times, the last six came in a row).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Succession didn\u2019t cause any headache for the Russians in synchronised swimming at all: after <strong>Natalia Ishchenko<\/strong> and <strong>Svetlana Romashina<\/strong> had called it a day, a new queen took over the reign as <strong>Svetlana Kolesnichenko<\/strong> collected four gold medals at the Worlds. Naturally, she added the LEN Award to her tally, the 9<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Russian win out of 10 here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For the first time a vote was called to name the best male synchronised swimmer. This historical LEN Award goes to <strong>Giorgio Minisini<\/strong> who, together with his partner <strong>Manila Flamini<\/strong>, claimed Italy\u2019s first ever World Championship gold medal in the discipline by winning the technical routine in the mixed event.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another national double were recorded in open water swimming. After the Netherlands swept the man and woman titles last year, now the French achieved this feat. Both <strong>Marc-Antoine Olivier<\/strong> and<strong> Aurelie Muller<\/strong> staged exceptional runs at the Worlds, they collected two individual medals apiece (including golds) and teamed up for another world title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The water polo elections produced another kind of double: for the first time ever two goalkeepers were picked for the awards. <strong>Marko Bijac<\/strong> played a pivotal role in Croatia\u2019s World Championships triumph (and he came second with <strong>Jug Dubrovnik<\/strong> in the Champions League). <strong>Laura Ester<\/strong>\u2019s saves were also key in Spain\u2019s silver medal-winning performance at the Worlds and Sabadell\u2019s bronze medal in the Euro League.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>2017 LEN
