Consider the following statements in respect of the Laureus World Sports Award which was instituted in the year 2000 : 1. American golfer Tiger Woods was the first winner of this award. 2. The award was received mostly by 'Formula One' players so far. 3. Roger Federer received this award maximum number of times compared to others. Which of the above statements are correct?

Describes an international award (Champions of the Earth), giving its launch year and the fact it is presented in named categories.

A student could use this pattern—check the Laureus Award's official launch year and its inaugural category winners—to see if Tiger Woods was listed as the 2000 awardee.

Explains that major national awards (Padma Awards) have fixed annual announcement times and documented limits, implying awards have clear, trackable records and procedures.

Use the expectation of formal, dated announcement records to look up Laureus's inaugural-year records or press releases for 2000 to confirm the winner.

Shows that historic awards/awards-like decisions (Communal Award) are tied to specific dates and official modifications, indicating such awards are recorded and can be verified historically.

Apply the same approach to Laureus by consulting historical lists or archives (e.g., year-by-year winners) to verify whether Tiger Woods won the inaugural 2000 award.

Describes an international award (Champions of the Earth) with launch year, multiple categories and a cumulative count of laureates — shows awards often have many categories and multiple winners over years.

A student could note that Laureus also has categories and many annual winners, so they should compile the Laureus winners list since 2000 and count how many were F1 drivers to compare against the total.

Explains that an award (Outstanding Parliamentarian) was instituted in a specific year to be given annually — illustrates that awards typically have a known start year and regular frequency.

Use the known start year (2000 for Laureus) and annual frequency to estimate the total number of Laureus awards given since inception, then compare the number of F1 winners to see if they form a majority.

Repeats the pattern that awards are instituted in a given year and issued on an annual basis by a committee — useful for constructing a timeline and expected award-count.

Count one Laureus award (or category) per year since 2000 or tally all Laureus categories per year using external lists to compute totals for comparison with F1 winners.

Shows that awards can be instituted, discontinued and later revived — warns that award histories may be non-continuous and must be checked rather than assumed continuous.

When checking Laureus winners, verify there were no skipped years or changed categories that would affect the denominator when judging whether F1 drivers are a majority.

Lists examples of national awards and their specific purposes — emphasizes that awards target a range of fields and recipients, so a single sport (Formula One) being majority would be atypical.

Combine this general expectation with the actual Laureus winners list to assess plausibility; if Laureus covers many sports, a majority from F1 would be unlikely unless verified by counting.

Describes an award (Outstanding Parliamentarian) that was instituted in a specific year and is given annually — shows a common pattern: awards with a founding year produce a year-by-year roll of winners.

A student could use the known Laureus start year (2000) and compile its annual winners list to count repeated winners and compare Federer's tally.

Repeats the same point that some awards are institutionalised with annual cycles, reinforcing the idea that counting wins across years is the right method to judge 'more times than any other individual'.

Use the annual-winner model to search Laureus winner lists (by year) and tally individuals with multiple awards to see if Federer leads.

Explains that some international awards recognise individuals or organisations across specified eligibility categories — implying awards can be won by the same person multiple times or across categories.

Check Laureus award categories (e.g., Sportsman of the Year, Comeback, etc.) to see in which categories Federer could win and whether repeat wins are feasible.

Gives an example of national awards instituted in a particular year (1954) and later revived, demonstrating that awards have histories and that institutional changes affect their continuity and records.

Verify that the Laureus Awards have an unbroken annual record since 2000 (or note interruptions); if continuous, counting repeats is straightforward; if not, adjust comparisons accordingly.

Describes award criteria and purpose (distinguished service), highlighting that awards have defined criteria which constrain who can win and how often.

Review Laureus award criteria to determine whether the same individual is eligible repeatedly (e.g., yearly performance awards) and thus whether multiple wins by Federer are plausible and comparable to others.
