Dale Begg-Smith is the Ski and Snowboard Australia Snowsports Athlete of the Year for 2004/05. The annual awards were announced at a gala dinner at the Sofitel Hotel, Melbourne, on Saturday April 30.
The competition for the premier award of the night was very tight, with Begg-Smith and aerials skier Lydia Ierodiaconou - both ranked number two in the world - the key contenders.
In the end the award went to 20-year-old Begg-Smith, who as well as finishing runner up in the World Cup last season also claimed a bronze medal at the world championships.
He had started the season ranked 18th in the world, with only 13 World Cup events under his belt, so his rise to world number two has been one of the fastest in the sport’s history.
Ierodiaconou won the Outstanding Achievement of the Year award for her back to back gold medals at Mt Buller in September.
Halfpipe snowboard star Torah Bright won the Junior Athlete of the Year award, while Dale Begg-Smith coach Steve Desovich was named Coach of the Year.
In the Media Award category, Herald Sun photographer Trevor Pinder won the Best Photograph of the Year award for his action shots of Ierodiaconou at Mt Buller.
The Electronic Media award went to the Seven Network for its coverage of the Mt Buller World Cup.and the Print Media award was collected by Daily Telegraph journalist Arthur Stanley.
Keynote speaker at the event was The Honorable Rod Kemp, Minister for the Arts and Sport. Awards were presented by Mark Adams from Mark Adams Real Estate, Leanne Sharry from T-Board Australia, Secretary General of the Australian Olympic Committee Craig Phillips, Chairman of the OWI Geoff Henke and the Seven Network’s Ian Johnson.
