Motorcyclists, athletes dominate sports award nominations

Thu, 18 Jan 2018


Motorcycling and athletics dominate the nominations for the Sportsman and Woman of the Year prizes at this year's Isle of Man Sports Awards.

TT competitors Dan Kneen and Lee Cain are in the running for the Sportsman award, alongside three-time World Superbike Champion Jonathan Rea, who recently finished second at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.

Parish Walk winner Liam Parker and Joe Reid represent athletics, while Celtic defender Kieran Tierney, Enduro World Championship rider Jamie McCanney and European under-23 track cycling champion Matthew Bostock complete the shortlist.

British swimming champion Charlotte Atkinson will be looking to win the Sportswoman award for the second year in a row, but faces competition from athletes Erika Kelly and Hannah Riley, as well as cyclist Anna Christian, triathlete Hannah Howitt and gymnast Tara Donnelly.

Bostock, Tierney and Donnelly are also in contention for the Under 21 awards.
