The 2009 BBC Sports Personality Of The Year awards kicks off another round of end-of-year accolades for top UK athletes, this year held at the Sheffield Arena beginning 1900 GMT on Sunday, December 13, 2009.

The awards show, touted on one of the biggest in SPOTY history, was the hottest ticket in the world of British sport as 11,000 fans packed the Sheffield Arena for the annual event.

This year, Sue Barker and Gary Lineker were back at the helm alongside Jake Humphrey for the 2-hour presentation, which was covered live on BBC One, BBC Radio 5 Live, and the BBC Sport website.
