What an unexpected turn of events in the race for the Africa Top Sports.com Awards in 2013! The competition is fierce among ten exceptional athletes vying for the prestigious title, with an unexpected twist in the rankings.
Initially leading the race, Yaya Touré, the accomplished footballer from Ivory Coast, faced a surprising challenge from cyclist Natnael Berhane, who overtook him in the polls. Despite Yaya Touré’s strong comeback, the gap widened, leaving fans intrigued about the eventual winner.
The athletes contending for the Africa Top Sports.com Awards include Daryl Impey (Cycling/South Africa), Anthony Obame (Taekwondo, Gabon), Carlos Morais (Basketball/Angola), Didier Drogba (Football, Ivory Coast), Samuel Eto’o (Football, Cameroon), Yaya Touré (Football, Ivory Coast), Wilson Kipsang (Athletics/Kenya), Natnael Berhane (Cycling/Eritrea), Ezékiel Kemboi (Athletics/Kenya), and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Football, Gabon).
Yaya Touré, the sole African nominee for the 2013 Ballon d’Or, is seen as a strong contender for African Footballer of the Year. However, the community’s votes currently lean overwhelmingly towards Cristiano Ronaldo.
Natnael Berhane, hailing from Eritrea, aims to follow in the footsteps of Daniel Teklehaymanot, the winner of the previous edition. Berhane’s notable achievements, including finishing second in the Tour of Turkey, showcase his rising star in the world of cycling.
As the competition heats up, fans have until January 5 to cast their votes and decide between these exceptional athletes. The anticipation builds as the African sports community awaits the announcement of the Africa Top Sports.com Awards winners in various categories, recognizing the best in African sports for the year 2013.
