Post Sean McColl for Canada’s Male Athlete of the Year

Consider this: an athlete racks up the following results over a season…

6 World Cup podiums (1 gold, 3 silvers, 2 bronze)

Overall winner at the World Championships, including another silver and a fourth place finish

Current World ranking of third and fourth in two disciplines with three events left in the season

If this was the season for a speedskater, tennis player, triathlete, figure skater or practically any other sport, the Canadian public would be going crazy over these amazing results. A new Canadian hero would be all over the news. Young kids would join the sport of this athlete to be like him.They would have tons of sponsors…

Well, this is the current season of Sean McColl and I believe he should be considered for the Lionel Conacher Award as Canada’s Male Athlete of the Year 2012.

This award is voted on by the sportswriters of the Canadian Press. I have no idea of when or how this is done but Sean should be seriously considered for this award.

I know someone out there who is a lot smarter at these things than me knows how we can get Sean possibly made a nominee. So I throw out the challenge and hope that Sean’s season to remember gets even a glimmer of exposure within the Canadian media, although it deserves so much more.

Please note: I am saying this independently of Sean, I just feel he deserves to be recognized.

I completely agree.
To bad more people (climbers) didn’t watch the world championship on YouTube. If they had we would have more people saying the same thing.

there’s also the Lou Marsh award for top Canadian athlete. Might be pointless, but emailing a few sportswriters for various newspapers is something anyone can do. So show some support for Sean & our sport.
