SportsAid announces 2025 One-to-Watch Award shortlist

Selected from a cohort of around 1,000 rising British stars across more than 60 sports, the shortlist recognises young athletes who have demonstrated exceptional talent, dedication, and potential throughout the year.

Introducing the 2025 One-to-Watch Award Top 10:

• Success Eduan, 21, Athletics

These outstanding young athletes represent the very best of British sporting potential in 2025.

Since its introduction in 2006, the One-to-Watch Award has been a trusted indicator of future success. Athletes are nominated by their sport's governing body based on performance, potential, and impact.

The award’s illustrious ‘Hall of Fame’ speaks for itself, past winners including Tom Daley OBE, Hollie Arnold MBE, Jodie Williams, Courtney Tulloch, Amber Rutter, Emma Wilson, and Alex Yee MBE have collectively secured over 130 senior medals across the Olympic and Paralympic Games, World Championships, European Championships, and Commonwealth Games.

Last year’s winner, boxer Ruby White, capped off an outstanding season by completing the European three-peat and becoming the -48kg U19 World Champion.

Her success followed an equally memorable 2023 winner, Yemi Mary John, whose rapid rise included European gold, senior relay medals at the World Championships, and an Olympic bronze in Paris 2024.

We will reveal the top three later this year.
