Keely Hodgkinson wins BBC Sports Personality of the Year, becoming the fourth consecutive woman to claim the title.
Keely Hodgkinson was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year by the public following a phenomenal year on the track yesterday evening. The athlete was the favourite to win the historic title and is now the fourth woman in a row to win SPOTY after Emma Raducanu, Beth Mead and Mary Earps. The athlete was up against some stiff competition after a formidable year of sports with the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris earlier this year, as well as Wimbledon, the EUROs and several World Cups.
The sensational sportswoman beat out superstar darts player Luke Littler, triathlete Alex Yee, footballer Jude Bellingham, para-cyclist Sarah Storey, and cricketer Joe Root for the historic title. The Olympic 800 metres champion had an astonishing year, with the 22-year-old striking gold at the Paris Olympics as well as defending her European title. Not only did she bring home several medals, she also became the sixth fastest woman in history setting a new British record of one minute and 54.61 seconds. After being presented the award by former winners Sir Chris Hoy and Mary Earps, the Olympian confessed she was in a 'little bit of shock.' 'I'm actually more excited for my coach to be honest! This year has been absolutely incredible for me,' she added. 'I am so grateful to be in this position',
