The 2026 Two Good Sports Awards: the best, worst and craziest moments | See you in 2027!

It’s the final Two Good Sports of 2026, so naturally we’re handing out some extremely prestigious, completely unofficial awards. From the athletes and moments that made us fall in love with sport all over again, to the bad sports and baffling decisions. There’s love for Jai Arrow and his extraordinary fight against MND, World Cup magic from Cabo Verde, Winter Olympics heroes, Mary Fowler and Nathan Cleary’s royal-couple status, women’s cricket scheduling frustrations, rugby league World Cup hype and plenty of sporting moments that weren’t on our 2026 bingo card. Plus, we look ahead to the Australian Open, next year's Formula 1, a possible Wallabies resurgence and everything 2027 might throw at us. And because it’s the finale, things get a little sentimental. Thanks for spending 2026 with us. We adore you and will see you next year! Harvey Norman love sport. Supporting Australian athletes at all levels, from grassroots to the world stage for over thirty years. SHOP Furniture, Bedding, TVs, Fridges, Vacuums, Laptops, Mobiles and more instore or online!
