GQ Men of The Year
The GQ Awards ceremony took place in the halls of the legendary Mossovet State Academic Theatre in Moscow. The changes affected not only the format of the event but also its overall concept. The award, previously known as “Man of the Year”, has been renamed to “Men of the Year”. The main nomination of this year — “Men of the Year and Athletes of the Year” — brought together a truly stellar lineup of winners: boxer Albert Batyrgaziev, taekwondo athletes Maxim Khramtsov and Vladislav Larin, swimmer Evgeny Rylov, and gymnast Nikita Nagornyy.
The current period for Russian sports is marked by serious challenges. GQ magazine decided to honour those athletes who have proven through their example that Russian sports are alive and continue to evolve. Their achievements help restore faith in the domestic sports system and bring joy to audiences through the victories of Russian athletes.
