Team GB star Keely Hodgkinson is a top contender in 2024 after winning gold in the 800m at the Paris Olympics.
The Atherton-born athlete also secured the European championship title in Rome merely two months ahead of her competition in France.
Hodgkinson has been a force in the 800m in 2024, establishing a new British national record and ranking as the sixth fastest woman of all time.
Seventeen-year-old darts prodigy Luke Littler is also a nominee for Sports Personality of the Year, gaining attention by finishing as runner-up in the World Darts Championship this past January, which positioned him as one of the sport’s elite.
Following his impressive showing at Alexandra Palace, Littler has netted ten PDC titles in his first year on the professional circuit.
This 17-year-old aims to become the youngest winner of this esteemed award in over six decades.
England and Real Madrid footballer Jude Bellingham is among the notable nominees for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
