Olympic gold medallist, Keely Hodgkinson, speaks
to Gabby and Mark for an exclusive interview ahead of the Sports
Personality of the Year Awards.

Keely raced to gold in the 800m this summer in Paris, in the most
watched event on the BBC. That was Team GB's first track gold
since Jess Ennis-Hill at London 2012 - the very moment that
inspired Keely to start running. Even as a teenager Keely won
silver at the Tokyo Olympics, breaking Kelly Holmes' British
record.

So can she break the world record that's stood for 41 years? Will
she be joining Michael Johnson's new Grand Slam Track event? What
does she think can be done to improve athletics in the UK? And
how does she balance her love of seeing friends and fashion with
her gruelling training regime?
