Skiier Tina Maze, a nominee, says she is not angry at losing the World Cup overall title to Austrain racer Anna Fenninger.
"These loses are making you angry a little bit but if you know you did everything, you gave everything, you don't feel anger about it. You feel pride, you feel happy, you feel... I was battling for the, with great athletes and you know pushing yourself everyday out. It feels good, it doesn't feel bad".
Maze lost her overall World Cup lead to Fenninger last month.
The 2013 overall champion had led Fenninger by 18 points in the standings before the race.
However, she finished third and 0.46 seconds short of her second World Cup title.
The 32-year-old is also nominated for the Laureus Sportswoman of the year award, along with Serena Williams, Valerie Adams, Marit Bjorgen, Genzebe Dibaba and retired Chinese tennis player Li Na.
