? Beth Tweddle has no place on woman-free shortlist
? In pictures: the 10-man shortlist
The winner of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award next month will be a man after a 10-person shortlist was named on Monday night which featured no women.
The list was drawn up in time-honoured fashion by the editors of 30 publications in the regional and national press and magazines. "It's not our decision," a BBC spokeswoman said.
It meant Beth Tweddle, winner of a third successive European championship on the bars, and Sarah Stephenson, the judoka crowned world champion this year, will go unrecognised by the BBC.
Instead the boxer Amir Khan and the world No4 tennis player Andy Murray, whose years were not distinguished by significant title victories, took the places of British sportswomen in the year before the Olympic Games come to London.
The list further comprises the Ashes-winning opening batsmen Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook, the athletics world champions Mo Farah and Dai Greene, the golfers Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke and Luke Donald along with the cyclist Mark Cavendish.
