"British athletes Thomas Daley and Claire Warne have been named in the final 10 for the BBC Young Sports Personality 2007 award.

Plymouth Diving's Daley became England’s youngest ever National Champion when he won senior Platform gold at the 2007 ASA Championships.

The 13-year-old was given special compensation to compete at this year’s Australian Youth Olympic Festival against athletes up to six years his senior, taking silver in the 10m Synchro with Callum Johnstone and coming fourth in the 10m Platform.

Disability swimmer Warne took 200m Individual Medley bronze at the International Paralympic Committee World Championships 2006 in Durban at just 13. At this year’s Disability Sport Events Junior National Championships, Warne came away with seven individual gold medals and a relay gold.
