COMEBACK LIKELY Luke Littler in fresh career boost as darts ace set to feature in second series of TV show before first even airs
FEW could have predicted that the game of darts would spark a frenzy in TV land this year – but that is just what has happened. I can reveal Sky is already planning a follow-up to its upcoming documentary series about arrows stars, called simply Darts. And it is all because of the rise to fame of a certain teen sensation named Luke Littler, not to mention a TV game-show called Bullseye. A telly insider said: “Producers have a canny knack of knowing which way the wind is blowing and quickly catching that to maximise viewers. “The rise in popularity of darts is a classic example, and Sky are keen to make the most of it with these two documentaries. “Even though a date has yet to be confirmed for the first show, bosses are so sure that it will be a success they have another one in the pipeline.” The hoopla all began in January when Luke made it to the World Darts Championship final, aged just 16 — only for Luke Humphries to beat him and become world No1. Littler, now 17, and 29-year-old Humphries are part of a band of new stars sparking a renaissance in the game. Shortly after their thrilling show-down, I revealed how ITV had been inspired to look at rebooting darts game show Bullseye. Then earlier this month I told how the revival had been confirmed, with former cricketer and Top Gear host Freddie Flintoff taking over the presenting role previously held by Jim Bowen when the show was a hit in the Eighties and Nineties. Luke will be the celebrity player who goes on Bullseye when the reboot kicks off with a Christmas special this December. Plus, he’ll feature heavily in the first of the two Sky documentaries, which will run over three episodes and could hit screens later this year too. Luke will soon be on more shows than Bradley Walsh and Joel Dommett put together.  |

The three finalists for the 2024 women’s European Athlete of the Year trophy each won Olympic and European gold this summer and provided some of the most iconic sporting moments of the year.
The winners of the women’s and men’s European Athletes of the Year and the Rising Star awards will be announced at the Golden Tracks award night which will be held in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia on 26 October and streamed live on the European Athletics YouTube channel. From a long-list of 10 athletes, the three finalists were decided based on a four-part voting process with a public vote, a Member Federation vote, a media vote and a European Athletics expert panel vote each accounting for one-quarter of the overall vote. In alphabetical order, the three women’s European Athlete of the Year finalists for 2024 are: Femke Bol (NED) European 400m hurdles and 4x400m champion Olympic mixed 4x400m champion Olympic 4x400m silver and 400m hurdles bronze medallist World indoor 400m record-holder at 49.17 World indoor 400m and 4x400m champion European 400m hurdles record-holder at 50.95 Diamond League 400m hurdles champion Femke Bol is in contention for her third successive women’s European Athlete of the Year trophy after picking up the crown in both 2022 and 2023. And the Dutch athlete delivered another monumental season to put herself right in contention to win an unprecedented hat-trick. She produced a superb indoor season, winning the 400m at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow in a world record of 49.17, before anchoring the Dutch to 4x400m gold. Heading outdoors, she won 400m hurdles gold and 4x400m gold at the Roma 2024 European Athletics Championships. Ever the committed relay runner, she also raced the mixed 4x400m and won bronze with her Dutch teammates. In the lead up to the Olympics, she set a European record in La Chaux-de-Fonds with 50.95. Onwards to Paris and she won her first Olympic gold medal in the mixed 4x400m, brilliantly snatching gold on the final leg with a characteristic burst, timed at 47.93 on the last leg. She was disappointed to only come away with bronze in the 400m hurdles behind rival Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, but then added silver with the women’s 4x400m to complete the medal set. Keely Hodgkinson (GBR) European 800m champion Olympic 800m champion World leader with 1:54.61 Since 2021, the British runner has come incredibly close to becoming the leading women’s 800m runner on the planet, winning Olympic silver and twice world silver. But this year was the year in which she took the last step to the pinnacle. Her first two lap race came at the Diamond League in Eugene and a brilliantly executed victory in 1:55.78 set the tone for the summer ahead. Next up came Roma 2024 where she ran a controlled race to win her second ever European gold despite coming down with a head cold. En route to Paris, Hodgkinson clocked a world leading 1:54.61 in front of her home crowd at the Diamond League in London to move to sixth on the world all-time 800m list before underlining her position as the dominant 800m runner, running to gold in the Stade de France in 1:56.72. Yaroslava Mahuchikh (UKR) European high jump champion Olympic high jump champion World high jump record-holder with 2.10m Diamond League champion Since winning silver at the 2019 World Athletics Championships aged barely 18 with a 2.04m clearance, Yaroslava Mahuchikh has been marked as a generational talent and 2024 was the year when she etched her name into high jump history. She was below par when finishing second to Australian rival Nicola Olyslagers at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow in March. But it proved to be no more than a blip in a magnificent year for the Ukrainian, winning her second successive European Athletics Championship gold in Rome in June. Then in the Diamond League in Paris in July, she broke the 37-year-old world record held by Stefka Kostadinova when she cleared 2.10m before returning to Paris the following month to win Olympic gold and complete the set of major high jump titles at the age of 22. . https://www.european-athletics.com/news/finalists-for-womens-athlete-of-the-year-revealed |

Correct Brushy, coz she is not a household name in this country as yet !!
Looks like she scraped into the final 3 here as well, other two are head and shoulders on achievements this year |
|
By:
Yet no-one laying the chunk of 1k+ backing her at 1.38
 Probably because this is even more reason the brits will show they appreciate her, very much. |

Subbed by those dirty Europeans ay....

The Sarah Storey backer seems very confident she'll get on the list above swimmer Poppy Maskill who had the best games for team GB, guess both could get on but we have a ton of cyclists to choose from and Sarah has been on the list twice before 2012 and as recent as 2021, where she was nominated for the very same reason she could get nominated for this year.
Successfully defended three Paralympic titles (C4-5 road race and C5 time trial / individual pursuit) to become a 17-time Paralympic champion, making her the most successful British Paralympian of all time. Seems very, very unlikely she will be nominated for the same reasons as 3 years ago ?????????? backer beware !!!!!!!! |
|
By:
lol 2016 as well
and the most successful British female Paralympian of all time (with a total of 14 gold medals). |
|
By:
oh that was the female record in 2016, still thats 3 times she's been on the list. The last 3 Olympic years she's been shortlisted
Its very difficult for disabled people to get on the list in non-Olympic years as Alfie Hewitt is the only person to do it recently, the last was a visionally impaired duet at the 2014 winter Olympics. So Olympic years is the best chance they have for getting on the list, i think it would take the p1ss if Storey were to get on for the 4th Olympic year in a row, for the very same reason as 2021, give someone else a go innit !!!!! |

By:
