Emma Raducanu is the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year for 2021, capping a year of unprecedented sporting success for the tennis star who told the show: “It’s such an honour just to be amongst these nominees.”
Collecting her prize remotely, Raducanu wheeled the camera-shaped trophy from beneath her Zoom screen in celebration. “To win, it’s pretty amazing to me. I’m really humbled to join the amazing past winners and I’m also very happy for British tennis that we managed to get this award again!”
