Bryony Frost has been shortlisted for BT Sport's Action Woman Of The Year award, which celebrates the achievements of inspirational female athletes.

Frost, 24, who made the front pages of national papers after her historic Ryanair Chase success on Frodon, will be joined by fellow equestrian Pippa Funnell, this year's Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials winner and a former Rolex Grand Slam eventing champion.

Also among the nominations are 200m world champion Dina Asher-Smith, cycling world champion Dame Sarah Storey and heptathlon world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
