It has been another remarkable year for Kenyan runner Kipchoge, who improved his marathon world record time to two hours, one minute and nine seconds.
Kipchoge was nominated last year, as was Mondo Duplantis, who is long listed in 2022 after becoming both indoor and outdoor world pole vault champion.
Sweden’s Duplantis also became Diamond League and European champion and improved his world record to 6.20m indoors, and then 6.21m outdoors, as he continues to dominate men’s pole vaulting.
Holloway and Lyles both enjoyed stellar years, earning World Championship golds on American soil in Eugene, Oregon in July.
