She joins a shortlist alongside Sarah Davies (weightlifting), Ben Lane and Sean Vendy (badminton), and Becky Moody (equestrian). The winner will be announced following a vote by BEAA members, who represent over 40 sports across the UK.
From everyone at British Judo, congratulations to Emma on this well-deserved nomination—and best of luck in the voting!
