46. Christine Ohuruogu

The winner of the womens 400m event in Beijing, Christine Ohurougu, hailing from within a few miles of the Olympic site, wasnt amongst the favourites to defend her title, and indeed she didnt, as American Sonya Richards-Ross took gold. Ohurougu stormed to silver in the home straight, however, beating fellow competitors DeeDee Trotter and Amantle Montosho by a few hundredths of a second to take home an unexpected consolation prize. The medal was Britains only one from a sprint event, whilst fellow Londoner Robbie Grabarz, who had lost his National Lottery funding after failing to qualify for the 2011 European Indoor Championships, won the countrys only medal in a field event, the high jump, a couple of days later. 45. Josef Craig

This year, the three nominees was Olympic gymnast Rebecca Tunney, the youngest British athlete at the games, as well as Paralympic swimmers Jessica-Jane Applegate and Josef Craig, the latter of whom won the award. Aged just fifteen, Craig, who has both cerebral palsy and graves disease, took home gold in the S7 400m freestyle, breaking the world record twice in the process to add to a large haul of medals won in the pool by British paralympians. Given that hell be just nineteen when Rio comes along, the man voted, in principle, as the best young athlete of the year, will likely be a worthy contender once more.
