LA Sports Awards To Honor Gasol & Felix
Los Angeles Lakers star Pau Gasol and world champion sprinter Allyson Felix will receive the prestigious 2009 Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year awards at the fifth annual LA Sports Awards, which will be held on Friday, February 19 at the new JW Marriott at L.A. Live.
The LA Sports Awards are presented annually by the Los Angeles Sports Council to celebrate the greatest moments of the year in sports in the Los Angeles/Orange County area.
The award is given to the local male and female athlete whose performance and character best exemplified the ideals of sportsmanship during the calendar year.
A true sportsman both on and off the court, Gasol is as consistent with his service to the community as he is with his points and rebounds. Since he joined the Lakers via trade in February 2008, the team has raised its game to another level, reaching the NBA Finals his first season and winning an NBA championship last year. Gasol also led Spain to the gold medal at the 2009 European Championships.
Felix, a Los Angeles native, starred at the 2009 IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Berlin, Germany, winning two gold medals. Felix made history by becoming the first woman ever to win three consecutive world 200-meter titles. She also ran a powerful relay leg to help the U.S. to victory in the 4x400 meter event.
Felix was also the Sportswoman of the Year recipient in 2007.
The awards show will be televised on PRIME TICKET (date and time TBA), and will include special appearances by many of the athletes and coaches whose achievements helped make ’09 such a memorable year in sports.
In addition to the two Sportsman awards, the ceremony also will feature a countdown of the Top 10 moments for 2009 as selected by a blue-ribbon media panel, along with the naming of the Coach of the Year and Sports Executive of the Year.
This year’s event program includes a dinner, followed by the award presentations and video highlights. Winners will receive awards specially created by Tiffany & Co. for the occasion.
The L.A. Sports Council is a non-profit organization and will utilize the event’s proceeds to further its mission of promoting economic development through sports in Southern California.
