Shot putter Tom Walsh has won the supreme Halberg award
22 February 2019
The sportsman of the year beat out sportswoman of the year Lisa Carrington, team of the year the Black Ferns sevens and para-athlete of the year Adam Hall for the honour.
Walsh received the award after heaving the sixth-equal longest put in history - of 22.67m - and victories at the indoor world championships, Commonwealth Games and Diamond League events.
So who would he have voted for, if he couldn't vote himself?
Fellow nominee Dixon was the Indy Car championship winner.
