    No, last year it was won by Kamil Stoch, a ski jumper. Kwiatkowski was third:

    A real shame, as Kajto represents the true sportsman spirit: his rallying joy it's contagious and makes all rally fans happy!

    Btw, Portuguese media global picture it's even worse than the Polish...here they just got attention for foot, politics and jetset socialites! (I even believe there's no sportsman of the year contest at all!).

    The list of nominated sportsmen:
    Bartłomiej BONK (weight-lifting)
    Paweł FAJDEK (light athletics)
    Andrzej FONFARA (boxing)
    Magdalena FULARCZYK-KOZŁOWSKA, Natalia MADAJ (rowing)
    Krzysztof GŁOWACKI (boxing)
    Joanna JĘDRZEJCZYK (MMA)
    Michał JURECKI (handball)
    Radosław KAWĘCKI (swimming)
    Justyna KOWALCZYK i Sylwia JAŚKOWIEC (skiing)
    Adam KSZCZOT (light athletics)
    Michał KUBIAK (volleyball)
    Robert LEWANDOWSKI (football)
    Rafał MAJKA (cycling)
    Piotr MAŁACHOWSKI (light athletics)
    Weronika NOWAKOWSKA (biathlon)
    Agnieszka RADWAŃSKA (tennis)
    Rafał SONIK (rallying (Dakar on quads))
    Kamil STOCH (ski jumping)
    Marta WALCZYKIEWICZ (canoeing)
    Anita WŁODARCZYK (light athletics)

    Do you prefer rowing or weight-lifting?

    Details (in Polish):
    http://sport.tvp.pl/22790415/rusza-p...rtowcow-polski

    This is sad...
    Strange to see that Rafał Sonik is nominated in a quite small sport as rallyraid and no Kajetanowicz. Maybe they can choose only one people of motorsports? Of course I prefer Kajetanowicz above Sonik too.

    When I see that Rafał Majka (cycling) and Adam Kszczot (athletics) were last year only 7th and 12th when they had a really good year, I would say that this contest 'Sportmen of the Year' is a joke, just as it is in Belgium.

    As example, Kirsten Flipkens (tennis) won the 'Sportwomen of the Year' in Belgium in 2013 when she did one good event... She is nowhere in the world ranking.

    You mean food? Polish TV is full of food programs as well. But what's a jetset sociality?

    Hey guys, have a look at that, here is Felix's commentary about the nominated sportsmen and lack of nomination for Kajto. Felix is a rally driver, not very famous, but quite good. It's quite funny

    That's a good one Jarek!
    (In the remote chance you weren't joking, foot = football and jet set or socialite figures all those persons that somehow got famous and addicted on media exposure)

    Now seriously: I hope Kajto get into WRC2. It'll be refreshing for WRC to have a talented guy that it's always cheerful about rallying. A real switch for all the seriousness that become predominant after the arrival of the french champs...

    I really wasn't joking! I have never seen anybody calling football "foot" I was sure you meant food And I have never heard about jet set socialites. I think we call them celebrities here.

    And on a more serious note, would you like to buy a signed calendar with Kajto? Be quick, it's a limited edition, 100 pieces only!
