The Most Coveted Trophies and Awards in Sports

Trophies

Trophy News from ESPN

Kobe Bryant recently said he would rather win an Olympic gold medal than the NBA championship. Was he merely saying what was politically correct before the Olympics? Did he say it only because it sounds better than “I would rather win an Olympic gold medal than lose the NBA championship”? Or does an Olympic gold medal really mean more to him than a professional championship?

Only Kobe knows for sure but what about you? What sporting trophy means the most to you? Of all the things you could win in sports, which would you choose? A Super Bowl ring? The Masters green jacket? The Heisman Trophy? The Cy Young Award? A World Series? A Final Four? There are dozens upon dozens of championships and awards to win, but which would you most want to claim?

Here are a few quick caveats on my rankings:

The form of the award matters. Trophies top plaques, and the bigger the better. After all, you want the damn thing to look impressive in your trophy case.

Names count, too. Awards named in honor of a person (such as the Cy Young) just resonate more than those that, while prestigious, are named something boring and generic like the “MVP award.”

Durability counts. Generally, the longer the award has been around, the more it means.

Trophies for little gymnasts

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Two boys teams from Arizona Olympian Gymnastics recently won first place trophies at the Arizona Flairs Invitational in Gilbert, AZ. This meet attracted many of the state’s top gymnasts.

Coach Lyle Guthrie couldn’t be happier as his team’s trophy-winning performances indicate that they will have similar triumphs at the upcoming March state meet.

Koby Song-Nichols, 13, took first place in all-around in Level 8 and 11-year-old Dakota Grainger won the all-around in Level 5.

Song-Nichols also won in high bar, parallel bar and pommel horse while Grainger won in parallel bar and pommel horse.

Trophies for Michigan Gymnastics team

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

The boys and girls of Water’s Edge Gymnastics recently brought home trophies and medals from tournaments in Kalamazoo and Saginaw.

The level 5 and 6 girls were in Kalamazoo for a state qualifying meet. The level 5 team won third place for their combined efforts in the competition. All of the girls were successful at achieving an all around score high enough to qualify for the state competition to be held at the end of the competitive season.

Team mates Liliya Burden, Toria Green, Morgann Kanouse, Lyndsay Smith and Aurora Rozine were also in attendance for their first out of town fun meet, in preparation for level 5 competition. The girls did not receive scores, but were awarded several ribbons for their performances on the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and the floor exercise.

At the Jester Fest Competition held in Saginaw, the Water’s Edge boys also had solid performances. Alex Perkins’ scores from all six events added up to a 48.6 all around score which took a second place trophy. Branson Sowers won gold medals on the floor and high bar. Finishing up the competition was Dan Ryan who was decorated with a bronze medal for his vaulting skill. He scored a 12.9 out of a possible 13.

Gymnastics trophies for Arkansas team

Friday, February 1st, 2008

The Jacksonville Gymnastics competitive team is continuing its tradition of being one of the best and largest teams in the state. Jacksonville is part of USA Gymnastics and draws gymnasts from all over central Arkansas.

With one of the largest teams in the state, Jacksonville has gymnasts competing – and winning – at almost every level of competition.

Jacksonville has brought home 17 first place trophies in four meets this season, most recently competing in Pine Bluff. The team won first place trophies for levels four, five and six. No team trophy was given for level three, but Jacksonville easily had the most points for that level.

The level six team has won three first place trophies this season. Level six is considered maybe the hardest level technically because judges want the gymnasts to be well-prepared before they are moved up to the optional levels – level seven and up. Optional gymnasts compete their individual routines that are choreographed for them personally by their coaches and compete using more difficult skills.
