SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč congratulated the sportsmen and women of the Military Sports Club DUKLA Banská Bystrica (MSC DBB) on their placement in the prestigious 2014 Athlete of the Year Award.
“This year our athletes have proved to be among the best not only in Slovakia but, considering the two medals from the European Championships, also in Europe,” said the Minister.
The winner of the 2014 Athlete of the Year Award was, just as last year, Matej Tóth, race walker, followed by Martina Hrašnová, hammer-thrower. During the awards ceremony, Pavol Blažek, retired race walker, and Juraj Benčík, legendary coach of Slovak race walkers, entered the Hall of Fame of Slovak athletics. Matej Spišiak was voted the 2014 Coach of the Year.
The winners were judged by the selection board comprised of representatives of athletics clubs, Slovak Athletics Association executive board members, and coaches and sports journalists.
