Sports Personality of the Year: Who decides the shortlist
A panel of 12 sport industry experts is invited by the Director of BBC Sport – Alex Kay-Jelski – following discussions with his senior team.
The panel aims to represent a wide range of stakeholders from the world of sport, including former sportspeople, sports journalists from UK publications, and sports industry representatives.
BBC Sport aims for an even split of men and women, expertise covering a wide range of sports and, where possible, representation from each nation of the UK. Panel members change every year.
There are always three representatives from BBC Sport. This year, they were Kay-Jelski, Head of Sport Content Philip Bernie and Executive Producer Gabby Cook.
