Sports Personality of the Year Venue: Birmingham LG Arena Date: Sunday, 19 December Time: 1900 GMT Coverage: Live on BBC One, BBC Radio 5 Live & BBC Sport website.
We will be dedicating a day to one of the top 10 contenders from 6-17 December (in alphabetical order).
What a year for Amy Williams.
Previously little-known outside of her own sport, she became a national star quite literally overnight after winning Britain's first individual Winter Olympics gold medal for 30 years with victory in the women's bob skeleton.
Williams said the disappointment of missing out on the Winter Olympics four years ago spurred her on to success in Canada.
And the 28-year-old's performance was made even more remarkable by the fact she had no full skeleton track to train on in her home country.
Many accolades followed the gold medal for Williams; she was appointed an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list and also became the first woman to be made an Honorary Freeman of the City of Bath.
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won Sports Personality on the back of Winter Olympic success in 1984, Williams will be hoping she can follow in their dancing footsteps in Birmingham.
