Tom is BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year - 14/12/09

Published: 14 December, 2009

Hot on the heels of winning the BBC South West Sports Personality of the Year accolade last month, diving sensation and Plymouth College pupil, Tom Daley, has lifted the national BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award. 

Held at Sheffield Arena, this was the second time in two years that Tom has walked away with the Young Sports Personality title.  His gold medal-winning dive at this year's World Championships also earned him a nomination for the senior award for the first time, which was eventually won by legendary footballer, Ryan Giggs.
