Joanne Cantwell and Darragh Maloney present the show celebrating the stellar achievements of Irish sportspeople in 2020 in the face of never-before-seen challenges.
In terms of spectators, sport was decimated in 2020 - but many sporting heroes emerged or added to their lustre during a year that saw the likes of football’s European Championship and the Tokyo Olympics postponed until this summer.
