The annual ceremony sees the achievements of the Island’s top athletes, teams and coaches recognised in front of sports fans, with 11 awards up for grabs. As a professional cyclist Kennaugh, 31, rode at the highest level for nine years and won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, becoming the first Manxman in 100 years to do so. The two-time British National Road Race champion, who retired from cycling in 2019, said: ‘It's an honour to be part of this year’s Isle of Man Sports Awards. I am really looking forward to seeing young Manx talent recognized and acknowledged for their hard work and achievements.’
