SportsAid is delighted to reveal the top 10 athletes on the shortlist for this year’s One-to-Watch Award!

The annual award, supported by Aldi, the charity’s Official Supermarket Partner, was launched in 2006 and shines a spotlight on the stories behind Britain’s brightest young sporting prospects.

Each of this year’s finalists will receive in-person visits at their training environments to congratulate them on their outstanding achievements with the overall winner being announced in December.

🌟 Dan McLellan (Powerchair Football)
🌟 Erin Boothman (Cycling)
🌟 Irene Oboavwoduo (Basketball)
🌟 Isabella Rinaldi (Climbing)
🌟 Jack Long (Wheelchair Basketball)
🌟 Lily Laughton (Equestrian)
🌟 Ruby White (Boxing)
🌟 Samuel Reardon (Athletics)
🌟 Skye Fisher-Eames (Diving)
🌟 Summer Shaw (Judo)

The 10 athletes have been selected from around 1,000 rising British stars, supported by SportsAid, across more than 60 different sports during 2024. Each year, athletes are nominated by their sport’s governing body on the strength of their talent and potential, demonstrating why the One-to-Watch Award has gained such a strong reputation for identifying the best up-and-coming prospects.

The success of the One-to-Watch Award’s illustrious ‘Hall of Fame’ speaks for itself as previous victors, including Tom Daley OBE, Hollie Arnold MBE, Jodie Williams, Courtney Tulloch, Amber Rutter, Emma Wilson and Alex Yee MBE, have amassed 136 senior medals from Olympic and Paralympic Games, World Championships, European Championships and Commonwealth Games, firmly establishing themselves as household names in British sport.

Last year, track sensation Yemi Mary John was presented with the One-to-Watch Award by 400 metres legend Christine Ohuruogu MBE after an outstanding year which saw her claim gold in the 400m at the European Athletics Under-23s Championships and two senior relay medals at the World Athletics Championships. During the summer, Yemi Mary, who also featured in the top 10 in 2022, secured a bronze medal in the 4x400m Women’s Relay at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Cannot express how pleased I am to see this. So well deserved after so many years of hard work and returning from surgery and illness. Massive credit to Eilidh and everyone who has supported her

[UAETeam_ADQ @UAETeamADQ]

Promising Scottish rider Eilidh Shaw has signed a two-year contract with the UAE Development Team. For a rider who first took up cycling at the age of nine, this move felt like the realisation of a life-long dream 🤩

First race block of 2024 done with @BritishCycling: Binda, Borsele & Flanders…a bit of everything with hills, crosswinds, cobbles & plenty of learning. 4 wins and 8 podiums which can’t be sniffed at but still more to learn and being better never stops.

Having previously worked with Eilidh for 4 years @ScottishCycling her fortitude and grit was impressive during her diagnosis, injury and rehab. Great to see the results & performances coming for the hard work she puts in.
