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?
