The 1500m world champion, Josh Kerr, has revealed his massive disappointment at his BBC Sports Personality of the Year snub – and joked that he would love to see the minutes of the meeting that left him off the six-person shortlist.
Kerr’s exclusion led the World Athletics president, Seb Coe, to tweet “Are you having a laugh, Spoty?”, while the UK Athletics chair, Ian Beattie, expressed his support for a newspaper article that called it “maybe the most glaring omission in the award’s 70-year history”.
