BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
Andy Murray won the award in 2004.

The BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year[1] award is presented at the annual BBC Sports Personality of the Year award ceremony. It is awarded to the sportsperson aged 16 or under as of January 1 of that year, who has made the most outstanding contribution to sport in that year. The recipient must either be British or reside and play a significant amount of their sport in the United Kingdom. Their core achievements that year must have taken place in the UK, and cannot have been done with a non-UK national team. Nominations are put forward via Youth Sport Trust, and a judging panel then decides on a ten person shortlist. The panel later reconvenes to choose the top three, and decides on the winner by secret ballot.[2]

The Young Sports Personality of the Year award was preceded by the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Newcomer Award, in which the recipients could be aged up to 25. Decathlete Dean Macey was the inaugural winner of the Newcomer Award in 1999, and racing driver Jenson Button was the second and last winner the following year. In 2001, the award was replaced by the Young Sports Personality of the Year,[3] and sprinter Amy Spencer was the first recipient of that award. Although the rules stipulate that the winner does not have to be British, all winners to date have been. Scottish tennis player Andy Murray, who won in 2004, is the only non-English recipient of the award. The most recent award was presented in 2008 to achondroplastic dwarf Eleanor Simmonds, who won two gold medals in swimming events at the 2008 Summer Paralympics.
