2024 ESPY Award: Prince Harry, Caitlin Clark and Patrick Mahomes Earn Top Honors (Live Updates)
Mahomes is notably nominated for Best Male Athlete for his Super Bowl-winning season, and if he or Ohtani win, they’ll join the elite company of LeBron James, Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods as the only athletes to win the category multiple times.
There are also the annual trio of honorary awards this year, with Prince Harry Bryan Tyree Henry and Myles Garrett presented Simone Biles with the award for Best Comeback Athlete, following her making the Unites States’ Olympic team for the third time — after withdrawing from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics due to the “twisties.”
“As we know, Simone Biles couldn’t be here tonight, so we accept this award because she’s getting ready to bring back every gold medal,” Henry told the crowd. “Simone, you are an inspiration. Simone, you are a champion. And the only person you have anything to prove to is Simone.”
