Sifan Hassan, the Dutch long-distance runner, is among the nominees for the prestigious BBC World Sports Personality of the Year award. Despite her remarkable achievements, including winning the London Marathon in her debut and securing a bronze medal in the 1500m at the World Championships, she faces stiff competition from other global sports stars. The list of nominees includes notable figures like tennis player Novak Djokovic, who has had an outstanding year with three Grand Slam titles, and gymnast Simone Biles, who made a triumphant return to competition. Other contenders are footballer Erling Haaland, who has been pivotal in Manchester City's treble-winning season, and athletes like Faith Kipyegon, who broke multiple world records. The award, which will be announced on December 19, celebrates not just sporting excellence but also the impact and inspiration athletes bring to the world of sports.
