A host of inspirational sportswomen dazzled on the red carpet, with the Duchess of Cambridge presenting the main prize to deserving Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins.
Strictly star Victoria Pendleton looked fantastic in a black shift dress, while Rebecca Adlington, Dame Kelly Holmes and Eleanor Simmonds wowed in glamorous gowns. The sheer volume of sporting talent on offer this year meant that champion heptathlete Jessica Enniss breathtaking performance at the 2012 Olympics won her second prize in the public vote. Andy Murray came third, while double gold medallist Mo Farah missed out, despite gaining a huge percentage of the votes.
7/7 bombings survivor Martine Wright had us reaching for the tissues as she was handed the Helen Rollason Award for outstanding achievement in the face of adversity. We were truly inspired when she bravely told the audience: 'I've been given a rare opportunity that I never ever dreamed of when I had legs.'
Since the terror attack, the Team GB sitting volleyball player has had a baby, got married and learnt to fly a plane - a true inspiration.
