Thank You For ... #voteninoandkhrys 02/02/2015

Balan - Moshenska, GER © vstudio.photos Bob van Ooik The last title for Nino Langella - Khrystyna Moshenska did not materialise in the end. The former couple came in third in the polls for IWGA Athlete of the Year - behind climber Adam Ondra , CZE, and Thai boxer Valentina Shevchenko, PER.

The poll was above all a battle between the communities of the sports and those who played their cards best on social media and websites are the deserving winner and first runner-up. Congratulations to both.

If it serves as consolation, Nino and Khrys were definitely the "Champions of the Cornea." Their video (click here) was watched 3500 times, twice as much as those of the other top finishers in the poll!
