Olympic 800 metres champion Keely Hodgkinson has been voted the BBC Sports Personality of the Year for 2024.

The award caps a brilliant 12 months for the 22-year-old in which she claimed gold at the Paris Olympics, successfully defended her European title and set a new British record of one minute 54.61 seconds that made her the sixth fastest woman in history.
