on this overall complex plan we wait to see, but it could not have got | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
off to a worse start in some ways. Now live to Birmingham where Nick | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Owen and Denise Lewis are looking at all the preparations and arrivals | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
for this year's Sports Personality of the Year show. And who wins is | :00:14. | :00:21. | |

screen. You can register to vote on the BBC Sports Personality of the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Year website. It really is that simple. We are expecting over 1000 | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
people to walk down this red carpet, but let's seafood neck was speaking | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
to. -- see who make a speaking tour. I have been joined by someone who | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
has won 26 Olympic golds, the swimmer Michael Phelps and his wife, | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
Nicole. Lovely to see you both. For me, my whole career started with a | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
golden dream of being an Olympian and having the chance to win one. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
When I think back to the last five Olympics, and the thought of 28 | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Olympic medals, 23 of them go, it is hard to wrap my head around. For me | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
I have caught up to 2008, and that is where I am in my career about | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
understanding of the thing that has happened and finally getting the | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
chance to sit down and go back to the members I have before. The next | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
one around will be the 2012 games that were here in London, so I'm | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
looking forward to those and having the chance to be back here is | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
definitely exciting. Ahead I presume you are aware it is one of the big | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
nights in the British sporting calendar. Yes, I have some good | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
friends who I competed against here, and I'm looking forward to seeing | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
all the other athletes. It is always fun when you get athlete to get to | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
dress up. Normally we are in our aspect of attire, whether it is a | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
swimsuit for a track and field uniform, whatever it might be. It is | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
always nice being able to get dressed up and come together to | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
celebrate the year in sports. Inevitably people will say when will | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
you give up and give other people a chance? No more. I said that four | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
years ago but for me now just being where I am in my life and where we | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
are in our lives, I don't have anything someone to do. I was able | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
to finish a great summer by winning five more gold medals and one more | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
silver. To be able to come up with other thing I had gone through, | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
there is no better way to finish. Lovely to meet you both. Have a | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
great evening. Really enjoy yourself, congratulations, thanks to | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
you and to Nick Browne. Thank you, happy holidays and stop I am with | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
triple gold medallist Sophie Christiansen. It is so fabulous to | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
see you and many congratulations for what has been a fantastic year | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
again. How does it feel to be here tonight? Just amazing. It hasn't | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
really sunk in to be up here with so many amazing athletes. And still so | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
many hundreds more that could have been nominated. So it is a massive | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
privilege for me and to be able to showcase a minority sport, it is | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
great. I know you are very passionate about that and Para-sport | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
in general, but you are such a trailblazer, the most unbeaten since | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
2012. It has really been incredible. Yes, it is hard to stay at the top | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
but it is about thinking about those little things to always improve, and | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
not get impatient. You are one of the very few athletes still working | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
and competing at the highest level. How do you do it? It is my fault | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
that I have done a really expensive sport, so I have to work. But for me | :04:04. | :04:16. | |
it is about keeping my brain so active, so when I go to work I | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
completely forget that I have two win a gold medal this year, and I am | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
just normal Sophie is in the pet department. So it really helps me go | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
back to my training. It has been fabulous to see you tonight, you are | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
looking splendid, enjoyable evening. Thank you. | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
Viewers from the BBC News Channel have just joined us, hello. We are | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
in the red carpet near Birmingham ahead of the BBC Sports Personality | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
of the Year awards, and I just want you, there may well be lots of | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
flashing images because there was a lot going on with the paparazzi and | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
seven. A fantastic feeling, Kadeena Cox. You won medals in two sports. | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Vila to something I have worked towards. It has been amazing. More | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
mentally than anything it was tough. To stay grounded and perform a | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
second time and then do the same thing a couple of days later. Just | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
being able to focus was hard but it was the most enjoyable experience I | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
ever had. When it came to an end, did you collapse in a heap? You get | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
to the end of it and then you realise it is over. Your body does | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
kind of go flat and you get really ill. I got quite ball after the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
games but it has been really exciting and busy since then so I | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
have just been enjoying myself. You were diagnosed with multiple | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
sclerosis just two years ago, it must've been a massive rethink from? | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
Yes. It has changed my life than I have disabilities every day now. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Being a disabled person has its challenges but at the same time it | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
gave me amazing opportunities within Para-sport and in general. I guess I | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
can't complain really. How I'm feeling with this atmosphere? I am | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
early really nervous. It has been fun. We wish you well, thanks for | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
talking to us, good luck and have a great evening. Kadeena Cox, thank | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
you. I am with another of the 16 contenders. Adam Peaty, no less. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
This is great to see you, no stranger to the red carpet. Each | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
year I keep coming back, hoping to win. It is great to be here and to | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
show it with the rest of the country and hopefully give back as much as | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
possible. Such a fabulous night, exciting, new in particular have to | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
feel you are a strong, strong candidate. You kick started the gold | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
rush for Team GB. Yes, but at the same time I am very young, so you're | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
up against people who are 30, 40, 50, 60, I think some of them. I have | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
plenty of years to come back and hopefully build a profile again. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Tonight is all about giving back to the family and the British swimming | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
and to those people who have given so much to me. It is not really for | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
me tonight, hopefully to give back to those kids who watched me at the | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
Olympics and to the side of me. I am not very comfortable in a suit, more | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
comfortable in my swimming stuff. That is what it is about. Hopefully | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
I can come back tonight with lots of people inspired to get back in the | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
water. Fine limit and Camilla lovely girlfriend. Does he take it well in | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
his stride always? Yes, he loves it. He is Willy good at being humble, | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
and just taking it in his stride, really, he loves it. Sensible shoes | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
this time, not the dramatic level issues you were last year. Yes, a | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
bit more sensible. You have got to grow up now, haven't you? Always | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
great to talk to you, you have had a fabulous season, many | :08:05. | :08:04. | |
congratulations. Allan thank you. I have been joined by Kate | :08:05. | :08:15. | |
Richardson-Walsh, who captained the GB female hockey team the globe. How | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
does it feel to be part of this? It feels a bit surreal. To be back | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
together again. This is the first time we have been back together | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
since Rio. I am about to get mobbed now by them. It is a really special | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
evening. They are very badly behaved. Exceptionally, but nothing | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
to do with me any more, I am tired I am not in charge. A summary had | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
offered you this at the beginning of the year, would you have taken it? | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Absolutely. Gold Medal, and to have a hockey person nominated in the | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
short list I think is a really special moment for our sport. That | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
final was agony to watch, what was it like to be part of it? Would like | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
to keep fans on the edge of their seats. It was the best spectacle for | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
sports. To win on penalty, to have a British team win on penalties was | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
really great. Actually we were quite calm. We are in control, it is | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
harder probably to watch than it is to play. And 10 billion people in -- | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
10 million people in GB watching you. We were in our own little | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
bubble. So we could just focus on the job in hand. To find out that | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
many people watched was a real treat. Very briefly, what has this | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
done for women's Rocky? It has put it on the map and where it should | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
be. Do you think you have a chance of winning the night? A lot of | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
people will be rooting for you. The hockey family is vast. I am just | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
proud to be one of the nominees. Thank you for talking to us. | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
Onto our next contender for BBC Sports Personality of the Year | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
Vostok let's take you back to the summer, Euro 2016, when Wales | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
qualified for their first major tournament since 1958. Football is a | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
team game, that when one man scores three goals, it could only be about | :10:18. | :10:26. | |
him, Gareth Bale. Who started off at Southampton. Hard-working, | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
level-headed, composed. Just a fantastic brand -- all-round | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
footballer. The biggest attribute I could pay him is that he is a | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
matchwinner. He is playing with the best and he doesn't look out of | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
place, in fact he looks comfortable come he looks as if he is enjoying | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
his life and his football. Real Madrid see Gareth Bale as part of | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
their long-term plan, some accolade. Certain types of characters come | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
into work and it is harder for other types. With him, years very calm, a | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
family man, he is not interested in the razzmatazz that comes with being | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
a Galactico. He just wants to get better as a player. He was a callous | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
man for Wales in the qualifiers and in the Euros. He scored for Wales | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
against England. That was the moment, I think that Wales thought | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
Communion, we belong in this level, we can go on and be successful. Bail | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
with another wicked delivery! Wales lead! As much as he is our best | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
player, he is a world star, he is more than happy to give credit to | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
his team mates. Very special, it is what it means to the whole country. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Mice to us to say a little thank you as well for supporting us. Being | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
there with the journey, amazing scenes. One we will never forget. | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
The Wales boss Chris Como and joins me now on the carpet. Kris Commons | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
have just seen that wonderful package about Gareth Bale. I guess | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
the question most people want to ask is what is he like to manage? Very | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
easy. He is a consummate professional. Highly motivated and | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
very passionate. So for me as an international manager, he is perfect | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
package. How much can you improve on perfection, that is left to achieve? | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
You can always improve. Always room for improvement but he has that | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
mentality that he wants to improve, keep on winning, keep being | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
successful for club and country. I think all the best sportsmen have | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
that same mentality. Just taking you back to those Euros. Have your feet | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
touched the ground? Wales were so impressive, everyone got behind | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
them. Yes, it was just one of those experiences that you never ever | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
forget. Something that we have groomed about for a long time, every | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
Welshman and women for decades, with we would never get to a tournament. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
We finally did, and then when we got there, I think the team did the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
country proud and we are very proud of the players. At the moment it is | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
great to be a Welshman. Charlotte, it has been lovely to see you as | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
well. Huw I am really proud of Wales and the whole Welsh team. Anything | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
they did there was a bonus. They got to the semifinal so got to be plays | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
with that, Gareth Bale, three goals in the qualifiers, so very pleased. | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
Have a great evening, both of you. I have been joined by Dame Sevastova | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
about cycling, actually Britain's most decorated Paralympian. That is | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
some achievement, well your Gold Medals, congratulations. How does it | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
feel? It is a huge honour. Still a couple of the medals away from the | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
record of 16. But it is fantastic to be here and to have had such a | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
successful year. You must be very proud of what you have achieved? | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
Yes. My parents, taking me to those early morning training sessions when | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
I was a swimmer. Now my husband. It is a huge team effort. You are a man | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
now come in three years ago you became a mum, put on a lot of | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
weight, it must have been very difficult to have the discipline to | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
get back? I had four stone on me and wondered if it would never come off | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
but at that point I did not feel any pressure to come back. If it came | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
off and did come back, it would be brilliant. But I achieved other | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
thing I ever wanted, and anything since then is a huge bonus will stop | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
I am more driven than ever because having lose out there in Rio was the | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
icing on the cake. Being able to celebrate with her was better than | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
it had ever been without her. If fantastic opportunity when you have | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
got kids to take them with you to the games. And of course you are a | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
game, how does that make you feel? Still very surreal. It was four | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
years ago in the news Honours list, these are the things you never aim | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
for, you never expect. I hope I am able to represent my sport in a good | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
way and use the title to help people not as fortunate as me. A lot of | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
luck tonight, I hope you have a great evening and congratulations | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
again. Sarah, thank you. Thank you. This young lady needs no | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
introduction. I am joined by the most decorated female track cyclist | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
in history. Laura, can adversely say you look stunning! Vila thank you. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
We can get dressed up every now and again, can't we? How long did it | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
take you to put on that ensemble? About three hours! I have good | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
friends, they came here to help me, bless them. Since we welcome your | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
feet must not have touched the ground? It has been incredible. At | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
the end of 2015, if you said to me what will your year be like I could | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
not have imagined it would be like this. It has been way more than I | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
ever could have imagined. It has gone to form, everything you have | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
done has just been sublime. Thanks! : the ball started rolling back in | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
the World Championships, I needed to get that under my doubt, be well | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
champion in the Omni and again given then that gave me the whole year. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Then in the deal honestly, I could not have dreamt of coming away with | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
my two gold medals. Looking at your stats, four Olympic gold medals, | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
seven world Gold Medals and ten European Gold Medals and you're | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
still only 24. Yeah, I don't know how it's happened! Only a short | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
career but a packed one, I would say, so far! I just love it, every | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
minute of it, and that is why. With that comes success. Like you say, I | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
just can't be more proud I guess of my own achievement only but the | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
whole of Team GB. It has just been an incredible year. As I said, you | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
are looking amazing, you have had a fantastic year, congratulations on | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
the wedding, please enjoy your night. Thank you, cheers! From Laura | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
Kenny to Jason Kenny, the other half. I'm not going to say which is | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
the other hot because it is not for me to say. Congratulations on a | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
wonderful year. Thank you very much, it has not been a bad one. Have | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
equalled Sir Chris Hoy's Olympic record. Unbelievable. Yes. It was an | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
amazing experience. Try and enjoy it. Do you ever pinch yourself in | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
thing that you have achieved? I don't really think about it until | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
people tell me, like just now. You are married now, congratulations, is | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
there a friendly rivalry, going on? It is not something we think about. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
It is really funny commuter Olympic medals and they are amazing and | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
special and the memories are incredible, that then you can put | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
them in this October. It is a funny one. Not really in your sock draw? | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
We should get a display. Seems a shame to hide them away. How do you | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
have your cycling relationship, what is it like for you watching Laura in | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
action? It is harder watching, I have a new appreciation for what my | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
mum goes through, watching someone you care about going around the | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
track you don't want them to the fan hurt themselves but you know how | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
much it means. It is much harder watching someone compete than | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
competing yourself. Do you urge each other on? Absolutely. And now helps | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
motivation when you are having those bad days and you see your partner | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
going forward. We help each other. And here she is. Hello! | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
Congratulations on your marriage, but what a spectacular year this has | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
been to you as a couple. It has been incredible. Looking back at 2015, it | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
has been way more than I could have imagined, looking forward to another | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
end of year. But as athlete and as a couple I guess. Do you have any time | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
off for Christmas? Yes, but we have the family around. I would not call | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
it time off, really! We need a harder -- a holiday after Christmas. | :19:41. | :19:55. | |
Enjoy it. I am joined by Alistair Bone latecomer changed the title | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
again. You have done it again. Triathlon is one of those boards | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
were the Olympics are bigger than anything else. The goal was to try | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
and win the race in Rio and thankfully I did it. We can relax a | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
bit. You are a Yorkshireman, very well but presented at the sports | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
personality this year. The region itself is so rich with talent. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Absolutely. We have seen a massive increase in sports talent around the | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
country. 60 medals in total is incredible. Yorkshire especially. I | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
am very proud to be from Yorkshire and I would really like to stay here | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
and say I could count on the Yorkshire boat tonight but I can't | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
because there are some inevitable from Yorkshire which is brilliant | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
but maybe a bit unfortunate as well. Happy before. The atmosphere is | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
incredible. Yes, anyone who was involved in sport, it is one of | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
those things. I'm about trying to stay up to watch it when I was ten | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
years old and it had been too late for me to see the final result. To | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
be here tonight and to have a chance to stand on that stage is so | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
special. Something I will others remember. Now Johnny tonight? Yes, | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
he was here somewhere. We are not joined at the hip! It has been | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
fantastic watching you, a great ambassador for triathlon and you | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
must be very proud how the sport has taken. Yes, I am. I started doing | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
triathlon when I was six or seven or eight years old, no one knew what | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
was. I have been really fortunate to be part of it and riding that wave | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
on triathlon, coming from an obscure sport to something everyone almost | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
knows about it. It has been incredible and one of the fantastic | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
things about me being here tonight is hopefully some young people out | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
there can have a go at triathlon, a sport that has given me so much. | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
Enjoy your evening, thank you. He was the first Briton to win the | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
US Masters in 20 years, Danny Willett. Good evening to you, Danny, | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
what a year. It has been fantastic, not a bad way to tap it. It is great | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
to be here tonight, it has been a busy year so to finally stop playing | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
a couple of weeks ago and Masna to actually enjoy some of the | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
highlights of what a fantastic year we have had. Are you saying me you | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
have not gone out and done a bit of putting practice? They have been | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
away for a couple of weeks, the clubs. Travelling thousands of miles | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
across different countries, it is nice to get back home, lock the | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
door, just enjoy normal family life. You talk about Nick and so on. At | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
eight the module studios it was for the family. Perspective of the | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Masters. Just reminders, when the baby came, compared with the | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
Masters? He was going to come on the Sunday but he came ten days early, | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
on the Tuesday. Early enough to give me time to it at there to America | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
and do my job. And you still were able to concentrate? Yes, just a | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
whirlwind 12 days that started fantastically and fantastically. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
Just a crazy moment in my life. And it was traumatic, the way Jordan | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
Spieth sort of collapsed dramatically in the last round. Yes. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
It is a tough golf course around that place, the pressure we are | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
under, that is what it is about. We just tried to keep putting pressure | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
on and fortunately enough we put enough on as to where there was a | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
little crack in the arm and will able to come through. Just briefly, | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
what next? Christmas and then we will be out in Abu Dhabi in late | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
January. We wish you well, Danny Willett, good luck tonight. I have | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
been joined by one of my oldest athletic pals, Darren Campbell. It | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
is great to see you here the night. It is good to be here. I am here | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
with Get Inspired, it is called the hashtag big thank you. We are | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
getting big sports stars to make those calls to the volunteers and | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
say thank you. So important to give back, and on Skype, we have Gillian, | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
who is a volunteer at a boxing gym in Redditch that has been set up by | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
Sarah. Hello to both of you. Hello. Hello. Tell us how you got involved. | :24:32. | :24:46. | |
Yes, basically I was brought in from James Winston, who did a bit of | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
boxing with me at first, and then he asked me if I wanted to do | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
volunteering, and then he sent me over to Sarah to talk to. That is | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
how I came to be here. And Sarah, for you, how fantastic is it to have | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
Gillian at your gym? She is a godsend. Without her we could not do | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
half the things that we do. We have a lot of classes, and she has always | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
got a smile on her face. She welcomes everyone in. She helps with | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the inclusive work as well. Just a real credit to the club and to | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
herself. Fantastic. Brilliant to speak to both of you, keep up the | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
great work that you do. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. The | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
work that people like Gillian do, if it has inspired you, take a look at | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
this. It has been another incredible year | :25:51. | :26:35. | |
for Mo Farah, one of the 16 contenders tonight. He was one of | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
the stars of London 2012, and this year in Rio, he completed that | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
double double, making him one of only the second people to do that | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
over the five and 10,000 metres. 2016 was pretty incredible. I was | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
mainly thinking about seeing if I could win two more gold medals and | :26:59. | :27:07. | |
retain my title. Here we go. He had a mesmerising effect on me when he | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
fell over and bounced off the track. I just went down into the ground. He | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
has fallen, just got a little clip! At that point I was panicking, my | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
race is over, I'm done. Everything is over, everything I have worked | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
for. And then in the back of my mind it was like no, it can't happen. I | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
have worked too hard for this. I promise my daughter over to get a | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
gold medal so I thought I could not let her down. Has Mo got the power, | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
the strength, the speed to defend this title? Mo Farah wins the gold! | :27:44. | :27:52. | |
Who wants to be away from where they grew up, where they have friends and | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
families? No one. If you want to become a champion, it comes with it. | :27:59. | :28:09. | |
Mo, going for the double double. For me it was, I need to go for this and | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
see if I can win one more goal for my son. Mo Farah is going to get | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
gold for Great Britain again. Four Olympic titles, four Olympic gold | :28:19. | :28:29. | |
medals. I wanted to achieve what I could and then won the time was | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
right stop and say, I did myself proud, I did my country proud, I did | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
what I could do. I am joined by somebody who is described as one of | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
the oldest gold medallists of all time - Nick Skelton. Do you get fed | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
up with the age thing? Everybody looks as me that Wheeler -- looks at | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
me as an old man. I don't think about it. It was great at the age of | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
58 to win a gold medal in your seventh Olympics. A I am lucky I | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
could go on that long, and I am really proud to be able to represent | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
my country for so many years, really. To win gold in Rio was an | :29:10. | :29:18. | |
honour for me, especially with the help of all the people who got us | :29:19. | :29:27. | |
there. Without people spending monetary on -- money on lottery | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
tickets, Team GB and so on. And you did it after breaking your neck. I | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
did, but I had a couple of years. It was great to come back, and I would | :29:39. | :29:43. | |
always say that I can't do anything else, really, so I had to go back | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
nominated to be the BBC Sports nominated to be the BBC Sports | :29:48. | :29:55. | |
Personality Of The Year? It is great to be nominated, and I am privileged | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
to be standing here tonight with some great sports people. It is | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
probably one of the only chance I will get to stand on that stage. | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
Time is running out for me, really. What next? Do you see Tokyo in your | :30:10. | :30:17. | |
sites? I said it before and I will say it again, I don't think I will | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
go to Tokyo, because I really enjoy riding Big Star now, and he probably | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
has a couple of years left, and when he retires, I will. We wish you all | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
the best, and very good luck tonight. Thanks. Last year's sports | :30:32. | :30:39. | |
personality was Andy Murray - can he do it again this year? We saw him | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
retain his Wimbledon title, become Olympic champion again, and take | :30:46. | :30:47. | |
that all-important world number one slot. Oh, and he became a dad as | :30:48. | :30:59. | |
well. After matches, I feel a little bit more level-headed. I'm not | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
stressed about the outcome of matches or tournaments now, which | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
has allowed me to deal with things probably a little bit better, seeing | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
things from a slightly different perspective. He's there. Straight | :31:13. | :31:21. | |
sets by again. A supreme performance, a first-class | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
tournament. To get over the line at Wimbledon was big for me. I | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
definitely enjoyed that one more than any of the other major | :31:32. | :31:37. | |
tournaments I have one. -- I have won. Andy Murray leads out Great | :31:38. | :31:43. | |
Britain and Northern Ireland. A great experience carrying the flag | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
as well, and I never expected to do that. Andy Murray is a double | :31:47. | :31:56. | |
Olympic gold medallist. It was one of the toughest finals I have come | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
through. Emotionally, I found it pretty draining. Amazing, obviously, | :32:02. | :32:08. | |
to win another Olympic gold. Andy is definitely number one in the world. | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
He is the best player. He has been extremely patient, he has | :32:15. | :32:17. | |
persevered, and he has gotten better, which is hard to do when you | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
have been dealt a bunch of blows against guys, some of the greatest | :32:22. | :32:32. | |
players ever to live, and to come out of that as number one is | :32:33. | :32:39. | |
amazing. Am joined back -- I am joined by Jamie Vardy. I saw you | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
last game in non-league football - Fleetwood against someone. I | :32:45. | :32:54. | |
remember that. Can you believe the things that have happened to you | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
since then? Not at all. I still pinch myself most days, but it is a | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
come from and the hard work that has come from and the hard work that has | :33:04. | :33:07. | |
had to go into it. It makes you wonder how much other talent is out | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
there that doesn't get the chance to break through. I think there's | :33:12. | :33:17. | |
loads. I have set up the academy looking at non-league players trying | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
to get them into the professional game. The scouting system we have, I | :33:21. | :33:23. | |
think there is loads, so hopefully that will produce more. You went to | :33:24. | :33:29. | |
a championship club, you get promotion, you go to the Premier | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
League, you win the Premier League, top scorer, Player of the Year, | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
playing for England - it is phenomenal. It is unbelievable, a | :33:38. | :33:42. | |
very strange feeling, but if you asked any English football of what | :33:43. | :33:46. | |
the pinnacle of the Korea is, it would be representing your country. | :33:47. | :33:51. | |
Long may it continue. Tonight, you are one of the candidates to be the | :33:52. | :33:54. | |
Sports Personality Of The Year - how does that feel? It is amazing, but | :33:55. | :34:01. | |
there is tough competition. Everyone has had a remarkable year in their | :34:02. | :34:05. | |
sport, so we will see. And they are filing past you right now. They sure | :34:06. | :34:11. | |
are. With this season we had last year, hopefully we can pick up the | :34:12. | :34:17. | |
award for team of the year as well. The team did very well in the end | :34:18. | :34:22. | |
yesterday. It showed what we are about - fighting spirit. That is one | :34:23. | :34:27. | |
of them things that happens in football. With the boys making the | :34:28. | :34:30. | |
comeback like they did, it shows what they are about. What is your | :34:31. | :34:38. | |
ambition now? Who knows? Football- wise, we need to make sure we pick | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
more points up, and then come February, we will go back to the | :34:42. | :34:47. | |
Champions League. Best of luck tonight. Have a good one. | :34:48. | :34:53. | |
Nicola Adams has been one of the most decorated female boxers in | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
history. It has been amazing to watch her do what she does | :34:59. | :35:03. | |
emphatically. It is so busy here. Let's have a look at how she has | :35:04. | :35:14. | |
gone on. The best memory of 2016 has to be being on the podium and | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
receiving my gold medal. I like the pressure, I thrive on it and use it | :35:20. | :35:23. | |
to my advantage. It makes me perform better. I like that everything is on | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
the line and everybody is coming after me. That's what makes me get | :35:28. | :35:31. | |
out of bed in the morning, the thought of someone wanting to take | :35:32. | :35:35. | |
my title. It's just me when I step in the ring, but I think about the | :35:36. | :35:43. | |
sacrifices my family made to get me there. Nicola Adams looking to join | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
a short list of boxing legends. I said to myself, this is it. She is | :35:50. | :35:58. | |
like, I will do it for you, Mum. She didn't look nervous or anything. I | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
was on the edge of my seat, and I thought, is she? Is and she? Your | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
heart is pounding and your stomach is turning. You're just waiting to | :36:09. | :36:11. | |
hear the name before you start celebrating. COMMENTATOR: Nicola | :36:12. | :36:19. | |
Adams! She lets out a triumphant roar, having been crowned as Olympic | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
champion for the second successive time. Overcome with emotion after | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
hearing the anthem and seeing the union Jack raised. | :36:30. | :36:48. | |
The BBC get inspired unsung hero award is a celebration of the | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
development and running of grassroots sport. With me here are | :36:54. | :37:00. | |
15 people from across the UK, and one of them will be the national | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
unsung hero. We will have a chat with one or two might. Rachel, you | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
are from Glasgow. Explain what you do. I like helping people learn to | :37:08. | :37:16. | |
ride bikes. I go out with a women's cycling group, which is to provide | :37:17. | :37:19. | |
women with the opportunity to ride bikes in a comfortable and safe | :37:20. | :37:27. | |
environment. I coach with Glasgow Riders, and I also work with | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
freewheel north, and accessible charity to help anybody have a shot | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
at our bike, regardless. Good to see you here. Andy, you're from | :37:38. | :37:45. | |
Coleraine. What do you do? We facilitate football on a weekly | :37:46. | :37:50. | |
basis for upwards of 5000 children throughout the whole of the north | :37:51. | :37:57. | |
coast of Northern Ireland. It is special to us, and a key element is | :37:58. | :38:05. | |
that it is just fun. It is about participating and the benefits that | :38:06. | :38:09. | |
everybody gets out of that. Vicky from Cwmbran, tell us what you do. | :38:10. | :38:18. | |
We have a women's football club, and be like getting children involved in | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
playing sports. Verve, from Brighton, explain what you do. I | :38:22. | :38:30. | |
work with Brighton's LGBT sports charity. We try to get people from | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
the community involved in sports. Lovely to speak to you. I would love | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
to speak to all of you. There can only be one winner, but will you | :38:40. | :38:47. | |
enjoy whatever? Yes! Best of luck. I'm joined by Max Whitlock, double | :38:48. | :38:53. | |
gold medallist from gymnastics. Great to see you. You too. Have your | :38:54. | :39:01. | |
feet touch the ground? It has been an incredible 2016, and to be | :39:02. | :39:04. | |
nominated again for Sports Personality Of The Year is such an | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
achievement. It is such an honour to be here. It has been crazy, for the | :39:08. | :39:14. | |
whole of Team GB. Personally, it feels unreal. You introducing me | :39:15. | :39:21. | |
then with double gold Olympic champion, it doesn't feel real. I am | :39:22. | :39:27. | |
looking forward to tonight, I have been since I was selected. What has | :39:28. | :39:32. | |
it meant for gymnastics? I know that your performances will have inspired | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
so many young people to want to get involved. That is the mission. Since | :39:36. | :39:41. | |
London 2012, it is just getting people involved in gymnastics. It's | :39:42. | :39:48. | |
amazing to say that, because what we do, we love it. I want as many kids | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
to try it as possible, because I know how great it is. Try | :39:53. | :39:59. | |
gymnastics, that is all I encourage. What is next to you? It all kicks | :40:00. | :40:06. | |
off in March. The European Championships are coming around | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
quickly, then the World Championships, so it doesn't stop. I | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
will be back in the gym, training hard. Will you let your hair down | :40:13. | :40:19. | |
tonight? I know it is now fracking. Of course. I will make use of this | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
time. I have had a small break. And I have been looking forward to | :40:25. | :40:26. | |
tonight since I was selected. It will be great to catch up with | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
everyone, all the contestants. Fabulous to see you again. Many | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
congratulations. Thank you very much. I'm delighted to say that Ryan | :40:37. | :40:44. | |
Giggs, absolute legend of Manchester City, is here. You know what it is | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
like to win this. Yes, I was fortunate enough to win it was an | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
unbelievable feeling. As I said on the night, I grew up watching the | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
programme, and I think it is part of everyone's life growing up. What is | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
happening with you now? You have left Manchester United. Are you | :41:02. | :41:09. | |
freelance? Straight from school, I joined United. I went from playing | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
to coaching. I am enjoying the free time, getting to watch some | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
football. What about the way that Wales played this summer? It was | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
inspirational for the nation, really. What the lads did and what | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
Chris did was unbelievable. I don't think anyone thought they would do | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
so well. Chris said it, to be fair, we're not here to make the numbers | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
up and we want to do the best we can. And they did. What do you want | :41:37. | :41:42. | |
to do in the next few years? I always said I wanted to go into | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
coaching. I am taking a bit of time, visiting different clubs, watching | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
some football, but I will go back to coaching. Ryan Giggs, thanks for | :41:52. | :41:58. | |
joining us. Have a lovely night. That's it, we have counted them all | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
in. But who will be BBC Sports Personality Of The Year? From us | :42:03. | :42:09. | |
here in Birmingham, have a very good night. Goodbye. | :42:10. | :42:16. |
