Beth Mead tipped to win BBC Sports Personality of the Year after shortlist revealed

The winner of BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year award will be decided tonight, with six nominees up for the prize.

The shortlist was revealed on Tuesday, with Beth Mead and Ben Stokes joined by Ronnie O’Sullivan, Eve Muirhead, Jessica Gadirova and Jake Wightman.

England and Arsenal footballer Mead is the frontrunner after her goals and assists guided the Lionesses to the Euros trophy this summer, while England cricket captain Stokes was pivotal in his side’s T20 World Cup win this year.

Elsewhere: O’Sullivan sealed a historic seventh world snooker title to become joint-record holder; teenage gymnast Gadirova took home gold at the world and European championships; middle-distance runner Wightman also claimed world championship gold; and Muirhead led Team GB to curling gold at the Winter Olympics. Tonight’s winner will be decided by fan vote.

Stokes was voted Sports Personality of the Year in 2019 and is in the running again after a hugely successful year. He guided England to the T20 World Cup, holding his nerve under huge pressure, and has overseen three Test series victories since being appointed captain in April. On Tuesday, he helped England write history by becoming the first team to win 3-0 in Pakistan.

Wightman produced a stunning run at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon in July to become Britain’s first 1,500m champion for nearly 40 years, with his father Geoff commentating on the race in the stadium. The Scot completed his set of medals at the other major championships over the summer, taking European silver and Commonwealth bronze.
