Lionesses star Beth Mead wins BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award 2022

The Metro says Beth Mead has been crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year for 2022 after the Lionesses star helped England win the Women’s Euros in the summer.

The Arsenal forward won the Golden Boot for scoring six goals during England’s successful campaign and was named Player of the Tournament for her impressive performances.

Mead, who was the favourite to land the award, was nominated alongside England cricket captain Ben Stokes, snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan, curler Eve Muirhead, runner Jake Wightman and gymnast Jessica Gadirova, who was named Young Sports Personality of the Year for 2022.

Stokes was runner-up behind Mead in the voting, while Muirhead finished third.
