James: The Red Roses utter dominance this autumn.
Siobhan: Excited for Sports Personality tonight. I'm still undecided about whether to vote for Emma or Tom. I'm torn because I love them both and they've both made me cry this year.

As Gary kindly showed us a few minutes ago, the 2021 BBC Sports Personality of the Year is being held at Salford's Media City.
The show will be broadcast live on BBC One from 18:45 GMT and Gary Lineker, Clare Balding, Gabby Logan and Alex Scott will be presenting the 68th awards.

Normally the build-up to Sports Personality of the Year would see hundreds of people waiting to take their seats and a bit of a buzz in and around the venue but things are obviously very different this year.
MediaCity in Salford is the venue for tonight and it is perhaps just as well there is not going to be any audience members because of the coronavirus situation as it is very cold and very foggy. Definitely a night to be cosy on the sofa watching on TV.

There's a few people hanging around hoping to catch one or two of the famous faces who will be here but otherwise it is all pretty quiet.

Sporting years don't come much bigger - and that only makes the task of deciding who deserves your vote for Sports Personality of the Year 2021 even tougher.
Voting opens later this evening, so first let's take a look at who is in the running and what you need to do to ensure you can have your say.
Hello everyone. Yes, it's that time of the year again!
Christmas is just around the corner and it's time to celebrate another incredible 12 months of sporting action.
There was so much for us to enjoy as competition returned in full-force following a difficult year disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and huge events including the delayed Olympic and Paralympic Games were finally able to take place.
We'll be reflecting on all that, plus I want to hear about your highlights, as we discover who has won this year's awards - and who will be named BBC Sports Personality of the Year for 2021.
