Last but not least, Sándor Liu Shaolin is at the twenty-fourth place in the list of twenty-five sportspersons.
The editorial staff scored 60 sportspersons’ performance of the last year in nine different sports. The results of the teams and the clubs did not count (only the results of the best three). The total score was weighted per sports. Latter is determined by two factors: the frequency of organizing world competition for teams in a given sport, and the value a sport is worth based on international figures, m4sport.hu says. This is how they got a list of 36 sportspersons, and then they asked advertising agencies to fix an amount of money they would spent on a sportsperson in a campaign addressing brand recognition. The final, total score was counted based on the opinions of the agencies and the sports results. The score was finally projected to a scale of 100.
