Ten sportsmen and women from across the United Kingdom and from seven very different sports make up the shortlist for BBC Sports Personality Of The Year 2007.
The live event, supported by Robinsons, will be held at Birmingham’s NEC for the second time and is a sell-out with 5,000 members of the public attending, nearly double last year’s total.
It will be broadcast on BBC One on Sunday 9 December, from 7 to 9pm.
The shortlist (in alphabetical order) is:
Joe Calzaghe – Boxing
Lewis Hamilton – Formula One
Ricky Hatton – Boxing
Andy Murray – Tennis
Christine Ohuruogu – Athletics
Paula Radcliffe – Athletics
Jason Robinson – Rugby Union
Justin Rose – Golf
James Toseland – Superbikes
Jonny Wilkinson – Rugby Union
These ten sporting celebrities will now compete for the public vote on the night, during the live show. The public will be able to vote for their BBC Sports Personality of the Year by telephone during the show.
Details of the numbers to vote on will be given at the start of the programme.
