Keely Hodgkinson has won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, capping a stellar year in which she became Olympic champion.
The 800m runner beat darts star Luke Littler and England cricketer Joe Root into second and third place in the public vote.
Para cyclist Dame Sarah Storey, Olympic and world triathlon champion Alex Yee, and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham were also nominated.
Hodgkinson, 22, won gold in Paris to top the silver she won in Tokyo in 2021.
She also retained her European title and clocked the sixth fastest-time ever to beat her own British record in front of a packed crowd in London.
Hodgkinson is the fourth woman in a row to win the prestigious award after Mary Earps, Beth Mead and Emma Raducanu.
She told BBC One she was “in a bit of shock” as she collected the trophy.
“This year has been incredible and I achieved everything that I set out to do on the outdoor track,” she said.
“I hope you loved watching Paris and I wish you all a wonderful evening.”
Her coaches Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows shared the coach of the year award.
Elsewhere at the Salford ceremony, Sir Mark Cavendish picked up a lifetime achievement award – with fellow cycling legend Sir Bradley Wiggins presenting it to him.
The “Manx missile” retired this year after finally beating the record for most Tour de France stage wins when he collected his 35th in July.
Luke Littler, who shot to fame at last year’s darts world championships as a 16-year-old, was runner up for the main award – but claimed the young sports personality prize after winning 10 titles this year.
