All change for BBC Sports Personality of the Year, as shortlist of nominees kept under wraps

• The reduced shortlist will not be revealed until Sunday’s show

• New award for Greatest Sporting Moment chosen before ceremony by online vote

It will be a new look Sports Personality of the Year ceremony that marks the BBC event’s 65th anniversary in Birmingham this Sunday.

For the first time, the Sports Personality of the Year contenders will be revealed on the night of the show in a pared back short-list, rather than being released with supporting information in the run-up to the event.

A new award to mark the Greatest Sporting Moment of the Year is open to the public vote online until this Friday, with the winner announced at the ceremony on Sunday.

Also for the first time, the newly named World Sport Star of the Year will be open to voting online from home and overseas, with the deadline set for Saturday.

Other awards that will be presented on the night include:

· Lifetime Achievement

· Team of the Year

· Coach of the Year

· The Helen Rollason Award (for outstanding achievement in the face of adversity)

· The BBC Get Inspired Unsung Hero Award (to honour volunteers from across the UK)

Sports Personality of Year

Holding back the short-list until the show begins is a smart way to stem the head of steam that has traditionally built up before the night of the show itself: Who should not be on the list? Who should have been on the list? Who is favourite to win?

Not that there is any shortage of suggestions across every sports medium in the country, together with betting odds on the favourites. So here is a selection.

· Lewis Hamilton, won 10 F1 Grands Prix to seal fifth world title

· Geraint Thomas, winner of the Tour de France

· Ronnie O’Sullivan, won record seventh UK title, 25 years after first lifting trophy as a 17-year-old, to seal record 19th ‘Triple Crown’ event win

· Dina Asher-Smith, gold medals in 4×100 relay at Commonwealth Games and in 100, 200 and 4×100 relay at European Championships

Young Sports Personality—winner

The 17-year-old para-athlete Kare Adenegan was named the 2018 BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year at the Radio 1 Teen Awards in London.

Swimmer Freya Anderson and jockey James Bowen were also on the final shortlist for the award, selected by an expert panel from an original list that also included Max Burgin (athletics), Jack Draper (tennis), Georgia-Mae Fenton (gymnastics), Anna Hursey (table tennis), Georgia Roche (rugby league), Ryan Sessegnon (football) and Maisie Summers-Newton (para-swimming).

Adenegan, who won a silver and two bronzes at the Rio Paralympics, set the world record at the London Anniversary Games in July, beating long-time rival and five-time Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft. She then won her first gold medal in senior competition the following month as she took the World Para-athletics European title in Berlin, again beating Cockroft, and took silver in the T34 800m.
