The nominees have been announced for the latest Sports Gala organised by NOS and sports association NOC*NSF and notably for cycling fans, both Merijn Zeeman and Jumbo-Visma could be in line for prizes.
Jumbo-Visma were the dominant force in Grand Tour cycling this year, taking victory through Primoz Roglic at the Giro d'Italia, Jonas Vingegaard at the Tour de France and Sepp Kuss at the Vuelta a Espana, with both Vingegaard and Roglic completing the podium at that final Grand Tour of 2023. As such, they have recieved a nomination for Sports Team of the Year.
Zeeman meanwhile, sports director at Jumbo-Visma, was instrumental in the team's successes throughout 2023 and the Dutchman has been recognised for this by being among the final four nominations for Sports Coach of the Year.
His competitors are Laurent Meuwly (athletics coach of Femke Bol, among others), Eelco Meenhorst (national rowing coach) and Evangelos Doudesis (national women's water polo coach).
