Image source, .What a year it has been for 18-year-old Tully Kearney.
She won 4 x gold, 1 x silver and 1 x bronze at the IPC World Swimming Championships in Glasgow, improved her 200m Individual Medley time by 10 seconds and lowered three European records in the 400m Freestyle, the 200m IM and the 100m Butterfly.
No wonder she earned a place on the shortlist for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year.
Britain finish the event in fifth place in the medal table with 32 medals, including 10 golds.
Yes, fans of One Direction... Niall Horan is in town tonight and will play some part in the show. We're in the presence of musical royalty.
Canoeing - 2015 in review
Scotland's David Florence can look back on his 2015 with a lot of pride. On home soil - or should that be water? - he stormed to his third Canoe Slalom World Championships gold at Lee Valley. Next stop Rio.
Probably just as well you didn't make the trip to Dublin, Chris - it's in Belfast!
On a serious note, congratulations.

"SPOTY contender Max Whitlock has a part in the show and here he is discussing it with his coach... we won't give the game away yet but it was pretty amazing in rehearsal."

Great Britain's Patrick Huston ended the year by winning his first ever World Cup gold medal, while his compatriots won 10 medals at the World Archery Para Championships.
Tremendous achievements by all. But there's one other we really should mention...
Image source, .A two-year-old Indian girl reportedly set a new national record in archery back in March.
Dolly Shivani Cherukuri from Vijaywada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh became the youngest Indian to score more than 200 points at a trial event.
She fired 36 arrows at a target 5m away, then again at a target 7m away, making a total of 388 points.
Incredible.

"The Ulster Orchestra will be providing the musical accompaniment and here they are setting up their instruments ahead of a rehearsal in the SSE Arena ... It sounded phenomenal."

"After a dry, blustery day in Belfast, excitement is building as Northern Ireland prepares to host the BBC Sports Personality show for the first time.
"A flurry of guests have been flying into George Best International Airport, with the 12 main award contenders set for a red carpet reception in the city's Titanic building.
"They will then head to the nearby SSE Arena for a star-studded show, where the coveted trophy will be handed over for the 62nd time."
The important thing first, though...
