The 7th Sports Victories will be held at the Palais Acropolis on Monday, February 16, 2015, and you have only today left to elect your champions of the year. Ready, set… Click!
The time to vote is now!
They have been World Champions, European Champions, French Champions, or winners of major tournaments, and they will all be present at the Palais Acropolis, waiting to find out if their names will be added to those of Camille Muffat and Yannick Agnel at the pinnacle of Nice sports.
Public voting ends today and will be supplemented by votes from the jury, composed of sports journalists from national and regional print and broadcast media.
Besides, great surprises are reportedly being prepared behind the scenes of the Sports Victories, which will, like last year, have a surprise sponsor for an evening dedicated to Nice sports and athletes, during which the local sports news will be showcased in a grand film, with surprise guests, honored personalities, and breathtaking performances.
Admission is free with an invitation, which can be collected at the main town hall and the annexes.
