Markus Stoeckl makes it into the top ten of the Laureus World Sports Award nominees
Markus Stoeckl, owner of MS-RACING, has been nominated for the Laureus World Sports Award in the category of action sports. Joined by mountain bike downhill world champion Sam Hill he made it among the last ten athletes, including big names like Shaun White (snowboard) or Simon Dumond (freeskiing). Unfortunately neither Sam nor Markus could advance into the final round of the top six nominees. Since the first «Laureus World Sports Award» ceremony in 2000 a couple of mountain bike athletes like Anne-Caroline Chausson (2003 & 2004), Darren Berrecloth (2005) and Gunn-Rita Dahle (2005) have been nominated for the award in the alternative/action sports category. But none of them could ever win the trophy - except for Shaun Palmer in 2000, although he wasn’t nominated for mountain biking. Hopefully there are going to be more nominees out of the sport of mountain biking in the future. It's about time for athletes, such as Sam Hill and Markus Stoeckl, to get recognized and respected for their efforts and victories, also outside the world of mountain biking. www.ms-racing.atLatest news
