Sportske novosti awards Sportske novosti awards refer to annual sports awards given by Sportske novosti , a Zagreb-based Croatian daily sports newspaper . The awards originated in the 1950s and went on to become one of the most prestigious Croatian awards in sports. The winners are decided by polling sports journalists .History Sportske novosti was founded in 1945 and it first began awarding the Yugoslav Sportsman of the Year and Yugoslav Sportswoman of the Year awards in 1950 for greatest achievements in Yugoslav sports. The award, one of several Yugoslav national-level sporting awards, was given every year between 1950 and 1990, when it was discontinued due to the breakup of Yugoslavia . In 1952, the newspaper had launched a parallel award for Croatian athletes which honored best sporting achievements by sportsmen and sportswomen hailing from SR Croatia and later independent Croatia . Winners of both the defunct Yugoslav awards and the present-day Croatian awards are selected through a poll of sports journalists from around the country who are members of the Croatian Association of Sports Journalists , which was itself established in 1949. Award winners in both categories are collectively referred to as the "Golden Roll". The current award is considered one of the most prestigious Croatian national sporting awards, along with the annual awards handed out by the Croatian Olympic Committee . In 1990 the categories for Men's Sports Team of the Year and Women's Sports Team of the Year for notable achievements in team sports were introduced.Athlete of the Year Yugoslav competition (1950–1990) Croatian competition (1952–present) Sportsman of the Year Year Winner Sport 1952 Rowing 1952 Rowing 1952 Rowing 1952 Rowing 1953 Rowing 1954 Table tennis1955 Association football 1956 Athletics 1957 Water polo1958 Athletics 1959 Bowling 1960 Association football 1961 Tennis 1962 Tennis 1962 Tennis 1963 Basketball 1964 Tennis 1965 Swimming 1966 Bicycle racing 1967 Tennis 1968 Table tennis 1969 Table tennis 1970 Basketball 1971 Boxing 1972 Boxing 1973 Boxing 1974 Athletics 1975 Table tennis 1976 Canoeing 1977 Athletics 1978 Kayaking 1979 Table tennis 1980 Basketball 1981 Table tennis 1982 Canoeing 1983 Table tennis 1984 Wrestling 1985 Basketball 1986 Basketball 1987 Canoeing 1988 Table tennis 1989 Basketball 1990 Basketball 1991 Basketball 1992 Tennis 1993 Tennis 1994 Tennis 1995 Boxing 1996 Tennis 1997 Boxing 1998 Association football 1999 Swimming 2000 Weightlifting 2001 Tennis 2002 Alpine skiing 2003 Alpine skiing 2004 Swimming 2005 Tennis 2006 Tennis 2007 Handball 2008 Gymnastics 2009 Alpine skiing 2010 Alpine skiing 2011 Alpine skiing 2012 Trap 2013 Association football 2014 Tennis 2015 Association football 2016 Rowing 2017 Gymnastics 2018 Association football 2019 Gymnastics
