Four of the biggest names in British sport – Mo Farah, Chris Froome, Lewis Hamilton and Anthony Joshua - have all been nominated by the world’s media for the Laureus World Sports Awards.
Track star Farah, Formula One world champion Hamilton and Tour de France winner Froome are all selected among the six Nominees for the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award. They will compete with tennis giants Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo for the honour.
World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is on the shortlist for the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award, a category which also includes French teenage footballer Kylian Mbappé, Masters champion Sergio Garcia, French Open tennis champion Jelena Ostapenko, US swimmer Caeleb Dressel and Greek NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The eventual winners, as voted for by members of the Laureus World Sports Academy, will be revealed in Monaco on 27 February.
Nominated in the Laureus Best Sporting Moment of the Year category are Jermain Defoe and Bradley Lowery, whose emotional friendship captured the hearts of football fans around the world, and inspirational 18-year-old motor racing driver Billy Monger, who tragically lost his legs in a crash last year.
