Will it be:
With the help of Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows, Keely Hodgkinson, 22, achieved her first global 800m title in the French capital in August.
Hodgkinson also retained her European title and became the sixth-fastest woman in history over the two-lap event with a new British record of one minute 54.61 seconds this year.
Painter and Meadows' Manchester-based M11 Track Club produced two further Olympic medals for Team GB in Paris, as Georgia Bell claimed 1500m bronze and Lewis Davey won bronze as part of the men's 4x400m relay team.
Painter previously coached wife Meadows, who won world 800m and 4x400m relay bronze medals in 2009 and world indoor 800m silver in 2010.

A host of figures from the world of sport died this year.
Here, we some of those sporting names.

The Englishman is the first darts player to win the award.
The teenager became a household name at the start of 2024 following his remarkable run at Alexandra Palace - becoming the youngest player to reach the tournament's final at the age of 16 years and 347 days.
That achievement was just the start of a trophy-laden year, with Littler going on to win 10 senior PDC titles.
He is the reigning Premier League Darts, Grand Slam and World Series of Darts Finals champion.
Littler has gone from 164th to fourth in the world rankings and earned more than £1m in prize money in 2024.

Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet, speaking to BBC One: "It's a great honour to receive this award - Wigan have a history with this trophy.
"The club is in good shape, we are very connected and it starts at the top with Chris the CEO.
"We want success and we have big ambition.
"We try represent the town as best we can and we look how we can help our ers - it is a great honour and a privilege to work with these guys."

Pretty much the only top male rider who wasn’t involved in an early season crash in Spain was Pogacar, who went on to win the Giro d’Italia and Tour de , before a win at the UCI Road World Championships saw him match Eddy Merckx, Stephen Roche and Annemiek van Vleuten’s ‘triple crown’ records, of taking all three aforementioned wins in the same year.
Lotte Kopecky’s retention of the road world title was overshadowed by the tragic death of Switzerland’s Muriel Furrer, after a crash in the junior race which is still under investigation.
Many riders and leaders in the sport are concerned about “equipment getting faster and riders taking more risks”, and are calling on world governing body the UCI to act.
Add to that the UCI’s own concerns about ‘carbon rebreather’ oxygen-blood level equipment, and you have a sport once-again heading for the spotlight in 2025.
A spotlight, for once, without one of its most enduring and ferocious characters, Mark Cavendish, who finally broke Merckx’s long-standing Tour de stage wins record to end one of elite sport’s most glittering – and noisy – careers.
35 – The number of Tour de stages won by Sir Mark Cavendish, who broke the record for Tour stage wins in Saint Vulbas earlier this year before retiring last month.
Image source, Getty ImagesSir Mark Cavendish, 39, retired earlier this year having won a record 35 Tour de stages - the last coming in Saint Vulbas in July.
Cavendish, who is from the Isle of Man, won 165 professional races and rounded off a stellar career with victory at the Tour de Criterium in Singapore in November.
Cavendish's roll of honour includes the road world title in 2011, 17 stages of the Giro d'Italia and three of the Vuelta a Espana.
On the track, he won omnium silver at the 2016 Olympics and was a three-time madison world champion.

On advice to anyone who wants to a youth club: "Go ahead and try.
"There is always a child that needs your abilities."

Image source, Getty ImagesWhen Bevan French produced a moment of brilliance to surge through for the only try of a tense Super League Grand Final in October, he put Wigan Warriors on course for history.
Matt Peet’s side, in edging past Hull KR, became the first side in the Super League era to win all four trophies in a single season – adding the Grand Final to the World Club Challenge, Challenge Cup and League Leaders’ Shield.
History was made elsewhere too. York Valkyrie became the first team to win back-to-back Women’s Super League Grand Finals, upsetting Challenge Cup and League Leaders’ Shield winners St Helens. Leeds Rhinos completed a perfect league season by winning the Wheelchair Super League Grand Final.
England enjoyed a successful year internationally – in the end – after concerns about their struggles to get a Test programme organised. The men won a two-Test series against Samoa that made as many headlines for a pre-match confrontation during the visitors’ Siva Tau dance, while the women claimed their biggest ever win, flattening Wales 82-0.
The most emotional night of the season, unquestionably, was at Headingley on 21 June. Leeds Rhinos’ home game against Leigh became a public celebration of club and international great Rob Burrow, who had died earlier that month, aged 41, after living for several years with motor neurone disease.
His wife Lindsey and their three children received a guard of honour, video tributes played in the stadium, and fans applauded throughout the seventh minute of the match – honouring the Great Britain legend’s shirt number. It was an apt send-off for a man who was a giant on and off the rugby league field.

Matt Peet's side completed the quadruple in 2024, winning the World Club Challenge, Challenge Cup, League Leaders' Shield and Grand Final.
It meant Wigan repeated the feat of their 1994 side, 30 years on, of winning every major honour over a single campaign.
Since 2022, Wigan have won seven major trophies under Peet - despite the coach taking charge of fewer than 100 games.
Wigan Warriors are the 2024 Team of the Year!
