北車 英文 | ESPY傑出運動獎曾雅妮、林書豪入圍

Sandwiched in between the Baseball All-Star Game and the London Summer Olympics this year is the sports extravaganza known as ...the ESPY Awards.

Nominees (below) were officially announced on June 27. followed by the 20th annual ESPY Awards ceremony which will air live on ESPN from Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at 9 PM ET.

Some of the top nominees for Best Upset this year include the LA Kings for their stunning win over the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup, and Lehigh over Duke at this years March Madness tournament.

Rounding out some of the most dramatic events in sports in 2012 is a nod to Maria Sharapova who is up for both Best Female Tennis Player and Best Comeback for her triumphant win at this year's French Open.

In college sports, the competition really heats up as Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, Heisman finalist Andrew Luck, and No. 1 NBA draft pick Anthony Davis all vie for Best Male College Athlete.

Hosting this year's show is actor/comedian Rob Riggle, best known for his work as a correspondent on The Daily Show. To celebrate the 20th annual ESPYs, special guest appearances on awards night will feature several former hosts from past presentations such as Lance Armstrong, Justin Timberlake, Samuel Jackson, and SNL funnyman Seth Meyers.

Already announced as winner of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2012 ESPYS is former Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt, who coached her team last season despite being diagnosed last summer with early Alzheimer's disease.

All about the ESPYs

Begun by cable sports channel ESPN in 1993, the annual ESPY Awards allows sports fans worldwide to join in an online vote for their favorites in such categories as Best Male Athlete, Best Female Athlete,Best Coach/Manager, and Team of the Year.

Unlike most awards shows, the ESPYs are probably most noted for its contribution to charity, as a portion of the proceeds is donated to The V Foundation, named for its founder, Jim Valvano.

The Arthur Ashe Courage Award is another ESPY highlight, honoring an individual for their personal courage or charitable works outside the sports arena, with past winners including such trailblazers as Muhammad Ali and tennis star Billie Jean King.

二○一二年第二十屆ＥＳＰＹ年度傑出運動表現獎（Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award）入圍名單昨天公布，「微笑球后」曾雅妮獲得「最佳女子高爾夫球員獎」及「最佳國際運動員獎」兩項提名。

今年在ＮＢＡ掀起「林來瘋」狂潮的尼克控衛林書豪，也入圍「最佳突破運動員獎」，球迷即日起可上網投票http://espn.go.com/espys/index），頒獎典禮將於七月十一日舉行。

最佳女子高球員 妮二度尬上克兒

ＥＳＰＹ年度傑出運動獎由美國有線電視體育網ＥＳＰＮ於一九九三年創立，曾雅妮去年挾著世界排名第一的氣勢，首度入圍最佳女子高球員，也是奪獎呼聲最高的女將，但最後意外敗給戰績遠不如她的美國名將克兒，讓妮妮很受傷。

雖然和ＥＳＰＹ獎項失之交臂，但絲毫未減損曾雅妮的鋒芒，去年英國女子公開賽中，她成為史上首位在這項大賽衛冕的球員，並以未滿二十三歲之姿，締造史上最年輕贏得五座四大賽冠軍的紀錄。

今年和曾雅妮角逐最佳女子高球員獎項的，除了克兒之外，還有去年美國公開賽延長賽中驚險封后的南韓新秀柳蕭然。

最佳國際運動員 妮遇三男將夾擊

在最佳國際運動員獎的競爭部分，曾雅妮將面臨塞爾維亞世界球王喬科維奇及兩大足球天王葡萄牙C.羅納度、阿根廷梅西的夾擊。其中喬帥自去年溫布頓網賽起，連續四場大滿貫賽都殺進男單決賽，還拿下三座冠軍，氣勢無人能擋。

尼克豪小子 爭最佳突破運動員獎

今年初在ＮＢＡ有如「灰姑娘」般戲劇性崛起的林書豪，也被列在「最佳突破運動員獎」（Best Breakthrough Athlete）入圍名單，和他競爭的還有ＮＢＡ選秀狀元呼聲最高的肯塔基大學中鋒戴維斯、ＮＦＬ選秀榜眼葛瑞芬三世、新英格蘭愛國者隊邊鋒葛朗科斯基及美國女子足球名將摩根。
