I congratulate your achievement of / in winning the coveted award of "Best Sportsman".

Just to confirm. I believe that it should be 'in'.

Thanks.
 
I agree, but it should be, "I congratulate you on your achievement in ..."

You can be proud of the achievement, celebrate it, rejoice in it, etc, but you congratulate the person.
