Rhodri Talfan Davies, Director, BBC Wales, says: “What a momentous year it’s been for Welsh sport. I’m so proud we can come together once again to celebrate these huge sporting achievements, and mark the hard work and dedication that our brilliant ambassadors demonstrate on their journey to success in sport.
