Ellie Simmonds Wins DisAbled Sports Personality of The Year Award
Congratulations to her! Very well deserved it is too!
British swimmer Ellie Simmonds added to her silverware when she collected an award at the annual Sports Journalists’ Association (SJA) British Sports Awards on Wednesday December 9, 2009.
Simmonds, who won two gold medals at the 2008 Paralympic Games, won the Bill McGowran Trophy for the disabled sports personality of the year along with yachtswoman Hilary Lister.
On her award Simmonds commented: “It is a great honour to win this award in front of so many amazing sports stars and sports professionals.
“It really has rounded off a great year for me and everyone involved within the sport. I won a few medals in relay events this year and I couldn’t have won this award without the team’s support.”
