Helen Rolson Award, The award, given each year “for outstanding achievement in adverse circumstances”, is presented to Arsenal’s Jane Beatty, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer over the past year.

next, Tom Daly, She has buttoned her blouse since the red carpet.

I’ve never met him, but I think he seems like a really extraordinary character, should be an inspiration to many, and will be a worthy winner of tonight’s big prize. Here’s something he had to say:

Winning gold with Matty this year was a dream come true and I thought it would never happen to me. It has been a long journey but I am very proud of it. Matty is one of my best friends. Going on an Olympic trip with someone else is one of these wonderful things. I was a blubbering mess on the podium. I really couldn’t even breathe. It’s so special to be able to share that moment with your best friend.

to be able to say that I’m a gay man was able to compete Olympic Games And felt comfortable doing so… For me, I think there have been a lot of inspiring people this year. Women in sport, Sky Brown for young children, and for me and other LGBT players I think it’s really important for all of us to include sport.

Radukanu says 2022 “Will be my first real year on tour”, a reminder of how ridiculous her US Open win was. Further reading:

Emma Radukanu, Who is self-isolating at a hotel in Abu Dhabi after testing positive for COVID, joins us via videolink. She looks good.

It’s quite unrealistic. I have always seen sports personalities and it is a real honor to just be nominated. I feel that way and everyone around me is definitely the same and keeping me in my place, 100%. Actually nothing has changed. My parents never make a big deal out of anything good I do. He has been normal, nothing big, nothing less, that’s how he raised me.

tyson fury is The main of the evening involves the first contestant who is not present for the ceremony. Fury is certainly a famous spectacle-skeptic: “It doesn’t make sense to me and I don’t need or want it,” he said last year. “Actually, they’ll hear from my lawyers if they put me on the list. Give it to someone who needs it. Not me. Anyway we know who the sports personality of the year is – it’s me. I’m sports.” Personality.”

Jude Bellingham At least his family got to see, so that’s it.

Brown seems distant. It seems Bellingham was wondering if he really had to travel all the way to Dortmund for a 30-second interview and attempt to look dignified in the defeat. The winner says:

I want to inspire the world, especially little girls, and teach them that skateboarding is for everyone. And I want to get two gold medals from Paris for Great Britain!

Matty Lee, Joe won gold with Tom Daly In Olympic diving, declares the winner. And it’s Sky Brown!

Prizes Incoming! Three finalists for the Young Sportsperson of the Year award are in the stadium: Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund and England, Paralympic swimmer Ellie Challis and 13-year-old Olympic bronze medalist skateboarder Skye Brown.

The whole story is next. A truly brilliant athlete and mom – here’s what she says about her kids deciding what she should do in Tokyo:

We’ve always pretty much included them in everything I do. They come to all my races, when we’re in the UK we’re in the motorhome, they help prepare things. They have been involved in a big way. So when it came to that election whether I should go to all three events or just the road race, he had to participate. They didn’t know how long I’d be away, but I’m never going to do it again and I’ve made that promise to them.

If you want to read more, Donald McRae interviewed him earlier this month:

adam is pt, However, there are individual ones. He chats with Gary Lineker and Gabby Logan, and he’s pretty impressive too. Here he is on lockdown:

probably one of the hardest moments of my life, so i get emotional seeing such moments [his Olympics success], Getting to those lane ropes was almost closing a chapter. The investment of time, love, energy, sport is everything from you and I give everything. It was so hard, so hard.

without an in-studio audience, A large number of players are taking part virtually in one big thing with a Zoom-style screen. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than nothing.

in six minutes, Time for another video montage. This is an Olympic special.

The ceremony has officially begun, As it will (probably) end – with a slow motion video montage. Good enough, I have to admit.
