New Year’s honours list 2022: Tom Daley recognised in sports honours - David Beckham snubbed

A number of high profile sports stars will receive recognition in this year’s New Year’s Honours list.

After Team GB enjoyed another successful Olympic campaign, several of medallists from Tokyo are among those who will receive nods, with husband and wife pair Jason and Laura Kenny set to be handed a knighthood and damehood respectively.

Diver Tom Daley will be given an OBE, as will swimmer Adam Peaty, wheelchair racer Hannah Cockroft, and gymnast Max Whitlock.

Elsewhere in the world of sport, Chelsea Women’s manager Emma Hayes will receive an OBE for her services to football, while US Open champion Emma Raducanu will receive an MBE for her services to tennis after her astonishing breakout year.

There are also some big name omissions, however, with David Beckham, who had been rumoured to be in line for a knighthood, missing out entirely.
