The special sports year 2020 is summed up with a special version of the Sports Gala.

Sports profiles - formerly as active - usually gather in droves when Sweden's best sports performance is to be praised.

So not this time.

Duplantis multiple nominated

A few guests - with Armand Duplantis as the biggest star - appeared on the red carpet.

The athletics star has a chance to win three different categories.

But he was not the first to be praised.

Kulusevski was bought by Juventus

Instead, it was Dejan Kulusevski who was named Newcomer of the Year.

Sweden's new football star broke through as a loaner to Italian Parma in Serie A, and the 20-year-old impressed so much that he was bought by the big club Juventus and he has also cemented his place in the Swedish national team.

Thanked himself

In a pre-recorded interview on SVT, he expresses his gratitude and pays tribute to the people around you, such as the family and his girlfriend.

But also another person.

- I also want to thank myself for never giving up.

I am very happy and this will make me work harder, he says.

Kulusevski won the award ahead of MMA fighter Khamzat Chimaev, golfer Julia Engström and long-distance runner Emil Millán de la Oliva.
