2024 Sports Personality of the Year
 

A shortlist of six contenders has been announced for the 2024 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

Footballer Jude Bellingham, runner Keely Hodgkinson, darts player Luke Littler, cricketer Joe Root, Para-cyclist Sarah Storey and triathlete Alex Yee are the nominees.

Voting will take place during the show on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer on Tuesday, 17 December.

The programme - presented by Gabby Logan, Alex Scott and Clare Balding, and broadcast live from MediaCityUK in Salford - will celebrate 12 months of incredible sporting action.

Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport, said: "It's a fantastic shortlist. All six have kept us on the edge of our seats this year, showing us how sensational they are.

"I'm looking forward to reliving each of their successes on the night and finding out who audiences want to be crowned BBC Sport Personality of the Year 2024."

The public can vote by phone or online on the night for the main award, with full details announced during the show.

Other awards to be announced include Young Sports Personality of the Year, Team and Coach of the Year, Unsung Hero and the Helen Rollason Award.

The Lifetime Achievement and World Sport Star awards will also be presented.

stick this pish in the bin

Personality wise (which is what the tite of the award is) Luke Littler has been head and shoulders above.

Everyone was talking about Littler. Even non-darts fans.

He certainly backs up his World class ability with some character and charisma on the oche. And still only 17 years old.

My only negative against him would be that he got beat in the World final (as a 16 year old) although he did win most of the other big tournaments.

I don't get how a Footballer can be nominated for this category, as they pretend to not have a personality nowadays.

I never understand why they include snooker and darts players when its for sports people

They may as well include chess and poker players

Keely will win this.

Absolutely fabulous !!!




Whose Keeley ?

Is that better.

So does that also rule out golfers and Motor racing drivers? What about cricketers?

Daley Thompson should have won it every year, yeah?

Well they are all athletes of a sort and actually
‘burn’ a calorie or two .. in fact race drivers are amongst the fittest of all sports people

Darts , snooker , pool , karaoke are all pub pastimes you can do after 5 pints of lager

Your shins would pack in after 10 minutes at the oche

You can play football after five pints.
