Athlete of the Month
Each month, WorldWaterSkiers members can vote for their favorite water skiing athlete. Candidates are drawn from the top-ranked skiers across slalom, trick and jump, and voting is split into Men's and Women's categories. You get one vote per month — choose wisely. Live results show how the race is shaping up, and the vote button on each athlete's profile page makes it easy to back your pick. The monthly winner is announced with a custom graphic across our social channels.
Athlete of the Year
Every monthly vote counts towards something bigger. The Athlete of the Year leaderboard tallies all votes across the entire year to crown the most popular male and female athletes. The top three earn gold, silver and bronze status on the rankings page, and individual monthly winners are highlighted along the way. You can check the current AOTY standings at any time under Rankings.
