On Tuesday the nation picks its Sports Personality of the Year with a grand ceremony crowning the winner.

Jude Bellingham, Luke Littler, Alex Yee, Keely Hodgkinson, Dame Sarah Storey and Joe Root are up for the main gong.

But there are a number of awards that celebrate teams, individuals and unsung heroes.

An all-female cast of Clare Balding, Gabby Logan, and Alex Scott presented the gongs in Salford.

The Sports Personality of the Year, World Sport Star of the Year, Helen Rollason award, Young Sports Personality of the Year, Unsung Hero, Coach of the Year, Team of the Year and Lifetime Achievement award will all be decided.

So here is the winner of each…

Helen Rollason award

This award goes to the sportsperson “for outstanding achievement in the face of adversity”.

Dr Mark Prince, founder of the Kiyan Prince Foundation, wins the award. His son Kiyan was killed outside of his school with a knife. Kiyan’s father Mark uses sport to tackle knife crime.

World Sport Star of the Year

This is effectively the Sports Personality of the Year award for an overseas competitor.

Pole vaulting sensation Mondo Duplantis picked up this gong in Salford. The jumper has taken the sport by storm and has repeatedly broken world record after world record.

Unsung Hero

This award goes to a volunteer or community coach who has made a huge difference in society.

Jean Paton picked up the trophy. The 90-year-old has given her time to volunteer at the Salterns Sailing Club in Lymington for nearly four decades.

Team of the Year

Manchester City won the Premier League, Northampton Saints won the Gallagher Premiership and Team GB did well at the Olympics.

But it is Wigan, who won a fifth Club World Championship, who claimed the title in 2024.

Lifetime Achievement award

Sir Mark Cavendish will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award in 2024.

Young Sports Personality of the Year

Darts sensation Luke Littler picked up the Young Sports Personality of the Year award. The 17-year-old burst onto the scene this time last year at the PDC Darts World Championships, where he reached the final.

Since then he has blasted his way into darts regularity, including a Grand Slam and Premier League title in 2024.

Coach of the Year

This award was wide open this year, which was exciting. And the gong for coach of the year ended up going to athletics and Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows.

The pair guided Keely Hodgkinson to Olympic gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics this summer.

Sports Personality of the Year

This was the biggest award of the night. Cricketer Joe Root finished in third after a stellar year with the bat.

Luke Littler finished second following a sensational debut season on the sports circuit.

But winning the iconic trophy is Keely Hodgkinson, the 800m super star from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
