Olympic champion Daniel Wiffen said he was “surprised” to win BBC Northern Ireland’s Sports Personality of the Year.
Wiffen won Olympic gold in the pool in the 800m freestyle and bronze in the 1500m freestyle at the Paris Games in the summer.
The Olympic medals added to two golds he won earlier in the year at the World Championships in Doha.
The 23-year old from Magheralin in Co Armagh became the first athlete from Northern Ireland to win an individual Olympic gold medal for more than 30 years.
