The Military Sports Centre Dukla Banská Bystrica (MSC DBB) has awarded the best 2016 sportspeople in Defence, adding more names to the MSC DBB's Hall of Fame. SVK Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš came to the awards ceremony to congratulate the sportsmen and women. In his address, he emphasised that only the best can belong to the highest echelon of sports. “And you – the members of the Military Sports Centre Dukla Banská Bystrica – are among them. This is not to be said of the sportsmen and women only, but this also applies to coaches, doctors, physiotherapists and team support staff,” said the Minister. He went on to say that the sportspeople can rest assured they can always rely on the SVK MOD's support.
Last year the MSC DBB sportsmen and women claimed 37 medals at the world's most prestigious events. Matej Tóth (race walker) became the winner of the Olympic Disciplines category. Among those nominated and awarded in this category were Juraj Tužinský (sport shooter), Marcel Lomnický (hammer thrower) Peter Gelle (canoeist), Ingrida Suchánková and Dominika Tatárová (karate fighters), and Alexander Slafkovský, Tomáš Kučera, Ján Bátik and Michal Martikán (whitewater canoeists). Among those awarded were also our skiers Veronika Velez-Zuzulová and Petra Vlhová, and Paulína Fialková (biathlete).
Whitewater canoeist Jakub Grigar became the most successful young sports achiever. Among those nominated and awarded were also Marko Mirgorodský and Simona Maceková, both whitewater canoeists. Sport shooter Ondrej Holko and weight lifter Tomáš Romaňák, too, joined last year's successful performers. Biathlete Martin Otčenáš won the Non-Olympic Sports and Disciplines category. The other nominated and awarded sportsmen in this category included body builder Igor Kočiš and powerboat driver Marián Jung.
Matej Spišiak, Matej Tóth's coach, became the 2016 Coach of the Year in Defence. The Best Coach of Young Sports Personalities is Tomáš Mráz, the coach of our successful whitewater canoeists. The Best Military Performance category was won by judo fighter Milan Randl. Of the collectives, the mixed biathlon relay team of Paulína Fialková, Jana Gereková, Matej Kazár and Martin Otčenáš was recognised as well. The Extraordinary Contribution to Media Promotion Award went to Ivor Lehoťan, the editor of the Sports Daily.
