Public to vote for most inspiring Team GB performance

The public ballot will close on Friday November 11 with voters choosing between Adam Peaty's swimming exploits, Andy Murray's tennis heroics, Laura Kenny's double gold in the velodrome and Mo Farah's achievements on the track.

Max Whitlock's gymnastic feats and the women's hockey team's history makers complete the list, which was chosen by the British Olympic Association's Athletes' Commission.

The award will feature as part of Team GB's inaugural awards, and is presented by the BOA's official supermarket partner, Aldi.

"The phenomenal success of Team GB at Rio 2016 created so many memories and inspirational performances that shortlisting just six was a tough task and took much debate," said BOA Athletes' Commission chair Ben Hawes.

"However, we felt these six in their own ways gripped the nation in Rio this summer and are worthy nominees of the inaugural award.

"The Great Britain's Choice Award is great way for the public to recognise their personal heroes from the Games, whether it's how the athletes performed, who inspired them to get active themselves or simply the moment that had them on the very edge of their seat in August."

The award winner will be announced at the Team GB Ball on Wednesday, November 30, with members of the public able to vote via the event website.
