Gymnast Ellie Downie has picked up the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year award in Belfast.
In April, the 16-year-old claimed Great Britain's first ever individual all-round medal - a bronze - for a female gymnast at the European Championships in France. Six months later she was part of the team that secured GB's first ever medal at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
Downie's competition in the category included para-swimmer Tully Kearney, who picked up medals in all three colours at the IPC World Swimming Championships in Glasgow, and jockey Tom Marquand, who at the age of 17 has notched up 68 winning rides over the last 12 months.
Previous winners of the Young SPOTY award include Wayne Rooney, Tom Daley, Andy Murray and Jenson Button.
