This is my third list for a BBC Sports Personality of the Year topic. I believe it now meets the criteria. Per this I think I'm also meant to mention I am participating in the WikiCup, but I had already started this topic before entering so that fact is largely insignificant to this submission.

- Comments
- Personally, I'd like to see the name column sorted properly by surname, not by nationality first then surname.
- Perhaps have a separate column for nationality, then drop the "by nationality" section as redundant.
- Also, the "by sport" is redundant to the main table, and I'd drop that as well.
- Sorted the sorting. Sorry it was an old issue from when nationality and name columns were combined. I am reluctent to immediately unmerge those columns as I merged them following a suggestion by Chrishomingtang at another FLC. If people really want them unmerged I can do it, I'd just like to see what the consensus really is first. The "by sport" section is there for consistency across the topic, as while it may be easy to count them here, other awards that have been given a lot more times would be difficult to count (e.g. this award).
