The title will be decided by viewers' votes with the winner announced live in a
special ceremony from the Senedd with First Minister Rhodri Morgan on BBC Wales
Today on Monday 7 December.
Coverage of the awards ceremony from the new Cardiff City Stadium can be seen
in the BBC Cymru Wales Sports Personality Of The Year 2009 programme presented
by Jason Mohammad on BBC One Wales on Tuesday 8 December.
The awards will celebrate an exciting year of Welsh sport and will include
interviews with many of our top stars and a look back at the highlights of the
Welsh sporting calendar.
The Team Of The Year for 2009 will be unveiled in the programme along with the
Carwyn James Award for the Junior Sports Personalities and the Unsung Hero
award. The programme will culminate with the presentation of the BBC Wales
Lifetime Achievement Award.
The contenders:
Becky Brewerton: another successful season on the Ladies European Tour for
Welsh golf professional Becky from St Asaph, where she won the Spanish Open and
was selected to play for Europe in the 2009 Solheim Cup. Becky is currently
third on the European Tour standings.
Nathan Cleverly: Phillipstown, New Tredegar-born Nathan Cleverly is Welsh
boxing's brightest prospect at the moment. This year he managed to combine his
career in the ring – where he is British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight
champion, earning a crack at the European title next January – with studying
for a mathematics degree at Cardiff University.
Ryan Giggs: another outstanding year for the evergreen 35-year-old football
legend from Cardiff. Manchester United won the Barclays Premier League, the
Carling Cup and were UEFA Champion League finalists, while Giggs himself won the
PFA award and was nominated for European footballer of the year.
Louise Rickard: a year not to be forgotten for rugby winger Louise, being part
of the Triple Crown winning team that beat England for the first time ever. She
now has well over 100 international caps for Wales – more than any other Welsh
rugby player.
Jamie Roberts: the Newport-born rugby Player of the Series for the British &
Irish Lions on their summer tour of South Africa, Jamie was also part of the
Cardiff Blues team that won the EDF Cup and reached the semi-finals of the
Heineken Cup.
Geraint Thomas: it's very much been a year of two halves for cyclist Geraint
from Whitchurch in Cardiff. He received multiple injuries, including a fractured
pelvis and broken nose when he fell in March. But in October, he proved he was
back to full fitness when, in the World Cup in Manchester, he set the second
fastest time ever in competition over 4,000 metres in qualifying, before winning
that gold medal the following day. Geraint rounded off his successful World Cup
by being a member of the team pursuit squad which set the second fastest time
ever on their way to the gold medal.
The winner of the BBC Wales Sports Unsung Hero will go forward to the national
BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2009 awards held at the Sheffield Arena on
Sunday 13 December, where the overall UK winner will be chosen.
The presenter of the BBC Cymru Wales Sports Personality Of The Year 2009
programme, BBC Wales sports presenter Jason Mohammad, says the awards are the
highlight of his year: "I enjoy it so much because it's a night where everybody
gets together. It's a night where you see all the people that you've interviewed
all year round, people you've watched perform on TV. And of course this is an
opportunity for the public to tell us who they see as having had the greatest
year in Welsh sport."
