Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson hopes Aberdeen continues Sports Personality of the Year’s tradition of bringing sport to the public. Team GB legend Mrs Grey-Thompson won 16 Paralympic medals in wheelchair racing – 11 gold medals across four Paralympic Games – and also won the London Marathon on six occasions. She believes it is important for SPOTY to go on the road and bring it to as wide an audience as possible. Having the number of people that are going to be there – Aberdeen tickets have sold unbelievably quickly. Sports Personality of the Year takes place at P&J Live next Sunday and is live on BBC One.
