BBC Sports Personality Of The Year 2010

[ianrauk]

The 10 nominees are

Phil Taylor (Darts)
Andy McCoy (Jockey)
Lee Westwood (Golf)
Jessica Ennis (Athletics)
David Haye (Boxing)
Graeme Swann (Cricket)
Tom Daley (Diving)
Graeme McDowell (Golf)
Amy Williams (Bob Skeleton)
Mark Cavendish (Cycling)

Slim pickings imo.
I will vote for Cav I suppose, followed by Graeme Swan.

Though A new boxing world champion always seem to pick up the votes. So think he will pick up the award.

Who do you think will win?

Jessica Ennis or Haye will win....obviously my vote goes to cav

 

[potsy]

I hope Westwood wins but would be happy to see Jess Ennis win.
No footballers I see?

 

[rich p]

I'd like to see Cav win but I think Bob Skeleton will get it.

 

[accountantpete]

I would imagine that the mothers vote will go to Tom Daley - nice clean cut image yet to be tarnished by the real world.

 

[Aperitif]

I didn't get that Rich - eventually I found a pic of Bob:

I haven't got a preference, but I have heard a lot about the golfer Lee 1010 Westwood. "Ho ho ho hole in one".

 

[Smokin Joe]

It's nice to see Cavendish in there, maybe people are finally waking up to the fact that stage wins in the TdF are way more important than gold medals on the track. I'll vote for him, though I wouldn't complain if Westwood or McCoy got it.

 

[iAmiAdam]

I'll be voting for Cav. The last few years certainly entitle him to the long overdue recognition.

 

[Dayvo]

I agree that Cav would be a worthy winner, but the great British public, being of the armchair-type sportsperson, like to see someone who has won, or done, one thing well.

Cav has been consistently good over two years, but he hasn't won the TdeF!

The other contenders aren't 'particularly' outstanding, although, as Ian said, having a world heavyweight champion seems to do the trick for the voters!

And although he hasn't won any majors, Lee Westwood could probably win due to the fact that he is the current world no. 1!

Three years, He won four stages in 2008 too.

I do agree though, the public want to see World champions rather than sprinters.

 

[postman]

And the winner is --- --- --- ---.A 10 second pause all good reality tv shows have one .Darts leg end Phil Taylor .Yawn go back to ironing more exciting .Takes some effort being a darts player .

 

[nosherduke996]

Yep yer right, i think that it,s going to Lee westwood and the team award will go to England cricket team when the have taken the ashes by christmas.

May I correct you young man, Cavendish is one of the best road riders in the world, not a sprinter

 

[her_welshness]

My vote goes to Amy Williams. She was really the only shining beacon for us at the Winter Games. Lee Westwood was rather inspiring at the Ryder Cup so that would be my second choice.

 

[darkstar]

Since I'm shocked that Jenny Jones isn't in the line up, I won't be voting for anyone.
