History

The first Script error: No such module "Lang". was given to the racing car driver Juan Manuel Fangio on 3 December 1954 at the Luna Park stadium in Buenos Aires,[5] and the first woman to receive the award was the tennis player Norma Baylon in 1962.[6] Other women to win the Script error: No such module "Lang". individually were the tennis player Gabriela Sabatini in 1987 and 1988,[6] the roller skaters Nora Vega in 1995[7] and Andrea Noemí González in 1998,[8] the field hockey players Cecilia Rognoni in 2002 and Luciana Aymar in 2010, the judoka Paula Pareto in 2015 and the swimmer Delfina Pignatiello in 2017.[9] The women's national field hockey team, known in Argentina as Script error: No such module "Lang"., won the award collectively in 2000, becoming the only team so honored to date.[10]

Lionel Messi is the only person to receive 4. Lionel Messi and the boxer Santos Laciarto receive 3 consecutive Script error: No such module "Lang"., in 1982, 1983 and 1984, due to his conquering and retaining of the world flyweight title.[6] The tennis player Guillermo Vilas also received 3 Script error: No such module "Lang"., in 1974, 1975 and 1977[6] and Lionel Messi in 2011, 2021 and 2022. The only other people with consecutive Script error: No such module "Lang". are Gabriela Sabatini[6] and the basketball player Manu Ginóbili, who won the award by himself in 2003 and shared it in 2004.[11][12] Six others have received 2 Script error: No such module "Lang".: the golfer Roberto De Vicenzo in 1967 and 1970,[6] the rower Alberto Demiddi in 1969 and 1971,[6] Diego Maradona in 1979 and 1986,[6] Cecilia Rognoni and Luciana Aymar as a member of Script error: No such module "Lang". in 2000[13] and separately in 2002[9] and 2010 and the tennis player Juan Martín del Potro in 2009 and 2016.
