Double Olympic gold medallist Kelly Holmes has won the prestigious BBC Sports Personality of the Year award for 2004.
The 34-year-old won the 800metres and 1500m at the summer Games in Athens and her efforts were recognised in the end-of-year poll.
Four-time Olympic gold medal-winning rower Matthew Pinsent came second in the vote, with England's star cricket all-rounder Andrew Flintoff a surprise choice in third - ahead of teenage Olympic boxing silver medallist Amir Khan.
"After 20 years of dreaming, I finally got my award not once but twice," an emotional Holmes said after receiving her award from former Olympic champion Sebastian Coe.
The overseas title went to Swiss Roger Federer, who won three grand slam titles in 2004 including a second Wimbledon title.
The award for the best team went to Britain's rowing men's coxless four, whose triumph in Athens handed Matthew Pinsent his fourth Olympic gold medal.
