The AIPS Sports Media Awards 2023: “Writing – Best Column” – The Sports Examiner’s Fifth Place Honor

The AIPS Sports Media Awards for worldwide “Writing – Best Column” for 2023 have been announced, and The Sports Examiner has secured the fifth spot globally. The column, titled “With the best of intentions, the IOC has lost its way,” delves into the controversial decision by the International Olympic Committee to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete internationally despite ongoing conflicts.

The column highlights the incomprehensible stance of the IOC in the face of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, questioning the ethical implications of allowing athletes from these countries to participate in global sporting events. The recognition of this column as the fifth-best worldwide in the “Best Column” category is a testament to the critical analysis and thought-provoking content provided by The Sports Examiner.

The AIPS Sports Media Awards honor excellence in sports journalism across various categories, including writing, photography, and video. The recognition of The Sports Examiner in the “Best Column” category underscores the importance of independent and investigative sports journalism in today’s media landscape.

The recognition from AIPS for this column reaffirms the importance of in-depth reporting and analysis in the world of sports journalism.
