For Bartosz Zmarzlik, this is the tenth nomination for the Przegląd Sportowy Poll in his career. The speedway rider first received the prestigious trophy in 2017, and his greatest success came three years later.

Since then, Zmarzlik has consistently entered the top five best athletes in the country every year.
