PARIS, Oct. 2 -- A total of 20 nominees for Men's and Women's Athlete of the Year 2017 were announced on Monday by International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) headquartered in Monaco, without men's 100m world champion Justin Gatlin.
Gatlin, 35, shocked Usain Bolt in 100m finals at the World Athletics Championships this August, the Jamaican's swan song of a glittering career.
However, due to a former four-year suspension after doping violation, and relevant regulation revision by IAAF in 2017, Gatlin was unsurprisingly left out from the shortlist.
The list of 10 men and 10 women nominees was selected by an international panel of athletics experts. This Monday marked the opening of a three-way voting process, from the IAAF Council, the IAAF Family and fans, until the closure on October 16.
Three men and three women finalists are expected to be announced by the IAAF, before winners for the 2017 World Athletes of the Year Athletics Awards 2017 are announced in Monaco on November 24.
Following are the nominees for 2017 World Athlete of the Year:
Men
Mutaz Essa Barshim (Qatar, high jump), Pawel Fajdek (Poland, hammer), Mo Farah (Britain, 10000m), Sam Kendricks (United States, pole vault), Elijah Manangoi (Kenya, 1500m), Luvo Manyonga (South Africa, long jump), Omar McLeod (Jamaica, 110m hurdles), Christian Taylor (United States, triple jump), Wayde van Niekerk (South Africa, 400m), Johannes Vetter (Germany, javelin).
Women
