Sports Personality of the Year 2016
Ah, awards season. My favourite.
All the glitz, the glamour, the famous faces.
The best dressed, the worst dressed.
The pure unadulterated joy of the winners' faces, the awkward half-smiles-through-gritted teeth from the losers.
Breathe it in, people. Breathe it in. One of the best nights of the year is upon us.
Meet Sophie Christiansen, Jamie Vardy, Kate Richardson-Walsh, Nicola Adams, Adam Peaty, Jason Kenny, Danny Willett, Kadeena Cox, Sarah Storey, Max Whitlock, Laura Kenny, Alistair Brownlee, Mo Farah, Gareth Bale, Nick Skelton and Andy Murray.
In a few hours' time, one of these sporting heroes will be crowned Sports Personality of the Year 2016.
Excited? You betcha.
