In third place, it's Eve Muirhead!

Ok, it's time.

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year is about to be revealed.

Who have you crowned your winner for 2022?

BBC One

Coach of the Year Sarina Wiegman speaking to BBC One: "I feel humbled and grateful to win this award. Without this incredible team of players and human beings we could never have performed as we did. We have incredible staff. It has been fantastic.

"I’ve been the lucky person to come into this and work with these players.

"We played at Wembley of course and we broke records.We’ve made a change in society.

"Now little girls are walking around with the names of our players on the back of their shirts."

Rosie: The sporting moment has to be the Lionesses, what an amazing achievement that goes past sport. It inspires young girls to be different to not be affraid to be proud of whatever they choose to do and proves anything is possible. Rosie

Coach Deb: Forever will feel emotional and grateful about the Lionesses winning Euros 2022. The emphatic way they did it and what it means to so many in and around women’s football is inexplicable. Watching the footage again gets me every time.

Before we turn our attentions to that, we've reached the part of the show over on BBC One where we take a moment to remember the sports stars we lost in 2022.

One more award to come. And it's the big one.

Who have you voted 2022 Sports Personality of the Year?

Will it be Eve Muirhead, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Jessica Gadirova, Jake Wightman, Ben Stokes or Beth Mead?

We're going to find out very soon.

Those awards for the Lionesses and Sarina Wiegman cap off an incredible year for women's football in this country. The Euros was almost six months ago now, so let's remind ourselves how England won that historic trophy.

Wiegman's side won every game of the group stage - against Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland - before overcoming a very well-organised Spain side 2-1 in the dying minutes of the quarter-final then thrashing Sweden 4-0 in a statement semi-final performance.

Then came the final against bitter rivals Germany at Wembley. A record attendance erupted as Ella Toone opened the scoring for England before Lina Magull equalised late on to take the final to extra time.

As the clock wore down and the country dreaded the possibility of another Euros final going to penalties, Chloe Kelly poked the ball home after a scramble in the box and sent Wembley into raptures.

Her goal came in the 110th minute and secured England's title as European Champions.

They remain unbeaten under Wiegman and went on to qualify for next year's World Cup with a 100% record.

Jill Scott speaking to BBC One: "Just to be here, such an iconic awards. A massive thank you for everyone’s support. We really had the support of the nation behind us.

"This Christmas, to think there will be little girls asking for football boots and embarking on their own journey. That’s all we can ask for."

26 - games unbeaten for the Lionesses since coach Sarina Wiegman took charge, scoring 125 goals and conceding only seven.

And the Coach of the Year?

Well, it's Euro 2022-winning England manager Sarina Wiegman!

Nathan: In absolute tatters right now, that Rob Burrow piece was so bittersweet. Kevin Sinfield deserves everything good that comes to him.

Ben: Amazing people like Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield bringing people and communities together for good.

BBC One

Here's what Helen Rollason Award winner Rob Burrow had to say, speaking to BBC One: “I’m totally overcome with this award due to the amount of amazing people who have won this before. In particular my MND hero, Dodie Weir. What a fantastic guy he was. I don’t think I would be here today without meeting him less than a week into my diagnosis. I will accept the award on his behalf.

"I am inspired ot keep going by my friend Kevin Sinfield. My family as a whole who have put their life on hold to care for me, especially my wife Lindsey.

"This is for all the MND warriors out there. We will not stop until we find a cure."

The Team of the Year for 2022 is...

It was the one prize missing from a stunning career that, even without a World Cup to his name, had led many to believe that Lionel Messi is without doubt the greatest football player ever to have lived.

Those who are still yet to be convinced can no longer use that to dismiss his claim.

The 35-year-old at last guided his nation to the sport's biggest prize, scoring twice in one of the all-time great World Cup finals as Argentina beat France on penalties after a remarkable match had ended 3-3 at the end of extra-time.

The build-up to the controversial tournament was focused on off-field matters, as host nation Qatar was repeatedly criticised for its stance on same-sex relationships, its human rights record and its treatment of migrant workers.

When the football got under way, fans were treated to some terrific matches and wonderful stories, as Saudi Arabia stunned eventual winners Argentina in their opening match and a brilliant Morocco became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals.

It was quarter-final heartache for England, who despite a fine performance fell 2-1 to 2018 winner France after Harry Kane's late penalty miss.

In the very early days of the 2022 Formula 1 season, it looked like Charles Leclerc would be ushering in a new era at Ferrari after winning two out of the first three races, which handed Leclerc a 46-point lead over reigning world champion Max Verstappen.

By the time the curtain fell in Abu Dhabi nine months later, however, Red Bull’s Verstappen had already retained his crown at the Japanese Grand Prix a month earlier – in confusing circumstances – with four races left to spare.

The Dutchman also set a new record for most wins in a single F1 season by securing 15 victories in total this year. Verstappen’s domination, along with team-mate Sergio Perez, helped steer Red Bull to their first constructors’ championship since 2013.

F1 fans didn’t get to see seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton on the top step of the podium in 2022, but there were maiden wins for Hamilton’s Mercedes team-mate George Russell and Carlos Sainz of Ferrari.

Here is what Kevin Sinfield had to say after being honoured with a special award on BBC One:

“Thank you. I think from the start this has been a big team effort.

"Everyone has got behind what we have tried to do. Rob is probably the most inspirational bloke in the UK. He has inspired us to be better friends.

"In sport and certainly in rugby, the connections you make, the friends don’t just stop when the whistle goes. Sport is powerful enough to bring communities together.

"What we witnessed was a nation that cared about the MND community.

"Dodie [Weir] used to say MND isn’t incurable, it’s just underfunded. We’ve got to keep fighting. We will keep banging the drum."

Cyclo-cross in Arkanas. The iconic climb to the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Mountain biking in Munich. In 2022, Tom Pidcock showed he can do it all.

Having become the first Briton to win Olympic mountain bike gold last year the 23-year-old broke further new ground for Great Britain by winning the Cyclo-cross World Championship in January and the European mountain bike cross-country title in August.

Between those successes the Leeds-born rider produced the most emphatic display of his talent to date as he became the youngest ever winner on the Alpe d'Huez stage with a stunning solo victory at the Tour de France.

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard took the overall prize in Paris following an absorbing three-week battle with defending Tour champion Tadej Pogacar, while Wales' Geraint Thomas finished on the podium for the third time.

It was an important year for women's cycling, as the Tour de France Femmes returned for the first time in 33 years. The eight-stage race began on Paris' Champs-Elysees on the same day as the men's race concluded, with Annemiek van Vleuten clinching the inaugural title after a convincing final-stage victory on La Super Planche des Belles Filles.
