Kelly Holmes

Sports personality of the year is usually an anti-climax, but never before in my memory was the result so nailed on as tonight. 3rd place going to a cricketer (is that a sport?) was a surprise, OK, but Mr Pinsent for runner up and Kelly Holmes as winner surely decided themselves a few months ago in Greece. Poor lass, she's not really a speaker and she looked a bag of nerves tonight first interviewed (again) about her great achievement and then in a non-scripted (hmm) acceptance speech. I think she simply can't yet come to terms with the fact that this is really happening to her - that she will be forever remembered as one of The best British athletes ever, no matter what happens for the rest of her life - well done girl.
