Mountain biker Manon Carpenter is interviewed by our Claire in the audience and reveals the secret of her success - her dad never allowed her to have stabilisers on her first bikes. Yikes!

Team Wales captain Aled Sion Davies tweets: Congratulations @TeamWales on winning 'Team of the Year' at the #WSA2014. Huge honour to have been a part & lead Wales' most successful team.

He's the one in the middle, sporting a remarkable bright red tie...

Time to delve back into 60 years of Wales Sports Personality of the Year. To begin at the beginning, we start with some grainy black and white footage of former Wales rugby union wing and international sprinter Ken Jones, who was the first award winner in 1954. Follow this link for a look at all the former winners - some great names and great memories.

Team Wales' cycling medalists, and SPOTY nominees, Geraint Thomas and Elinor Barker are not in attendance tonight and have tweeted their apologies...

Geraint Thomas tweets: If I wasn't here at Mallorca training camp, I'd be @ #WSA2014 tonight in Cardiff! Gutted to be missing it, have a great night!!! #welshsport

Elinor Barker tweets: Really gutted i won't be able to make it to #bbcwalesSPOTY tonight as I'm off to Tenerife in the morning (I'm not expecting much sympathy)

Caitlin from Cardiff tweets: Good Luck @GeraintThomas86 at the #WSA2014 awards tonight!! Hope my increase in phone bill will help the cause!

Hopefully you didn't put yourself into too much debt there, Caitlin...

Next is the award for the most promising young male and female athletes. The panel obviously agrees with Lynn Davies, as the Young Sportsman of the Year prize is given to David Omoregie. The 19-year-old 110m hurdler won bronze at the World Junior Championships in July 2014 in a time of 13.35 seconds.

And it's Commonwealth Games rhythmic gymnast Laura Halford who wins the Young Sportswoman of the Year. After taking the Welsh and British senior titles earlier in the year the 18-year-old won three medals at Glasgow 2014.

Team Wales' Glasgow 2014 bronze medalist boxer Joe Cordina tweets: Feels amazing to be a part of Wales most successful team #Glasgow2014 and great to collect the best team award at the #WSA2014 #honoured

Lynn tips a young hurdler as the great hope for the next Welsh track and field Olympic medal: "Our best prospect is David Omoregie, he's the new Colin Jackson. Rio might be a little too early for him but I think he'll be in the team."

Back to the awards and BBC Cymru Wales Director Rhodri Talfan Davies welcomes Newtown's Bill Marlow onto the stage, a former teacher who now dedicates his time to getting kids in Mid-Wales involved in orienteering. After winning the BBC Cymru Wales award, Bill will now go on to represent Wales in the UK final, which will be announced during BBC Sports Personality of the Year on BBC One Wales on Sunday, 14 December.

Team Wales just about manage to fit a haul of athletes on stage to accept their Team of the Year award. Deserving? Tweet #WSA2014 if you think there was a more deserving team than this lot:

It's 50 years since Lynn Davies jumped into the record books by taking long jump gold at the Tokyo Olympics. The great man himself talks us through one of the seminal moments in Welsh sporting history - the temperature had dropped steadily through the rounds of competition and Lynn says his training in rain and frost-kissed Cardiff gave him the edge. So get out there and embrace that Welsh weather tomorrow sports fans...

Andrew from Richhill texts: Jamie Donaldson produced the standout moment of 2014 with THAT approach shot at the Ryder Cup. To be able to do that, under that much pressure and scrutiny is incredible. He gets my vote!

Another logistical achievement is getting all those Commonwealth athletes up on stage who have attended tonight. "Leading it was something else and these guys just stepped up and delivered," says squad captain Aled Sion Davies of their Glasgow performances.

Team Wales' swimming gold medalist Jazz Carlin tells BBC Radio Wales that the Commonwealth gold will always be a highlight for her: "Standing on top of the podium, seeing Welsh flags everywhere was definitely incredible. I'd love to capture that moment and remember it forever."

We've just seen the best achievements of Welsh teams, so the prize goes to... Team Wales after their record 36-medal haul at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Good luck fitting all those medals into the next video clip guys!

A fantastic montage is playing on the big screens of some of Wales' sporting highs over the past 12 months. It really has been a great year.

Boxers Joey Cordina and Lauren Price have confirmed their attendance on twitter, as have Team Wales captain Aled Sion Davies and table tennis player Charlotte Carey amongst others...
