Sports Personality of the Year

[dellzeqq]

if Victoria Pendleton is nominated (and, given that Zoo and Nuts get to choose, it could happen) then she might do well, what with being on Strictly. She might even get more votes than Bradley Wiggins.

My money's on Farah, and my vote is for Ennis.

I think Mohamed Farah will win, InshaAllah.

I think Mohamed Farah will win, InshaAllah.

Is he in, it too? A two-way tie?

Yeah, that's his twin brother!

I think it should be Ellie Simmonds, truly inspirational and a great personality too.

In any other year Bradley, Murray, Farah or Ennis would have it wrapped up but this year is special.

Wiggins by a landslide.

None of the Paralympians have a prayer, Pendleton won't figure, Murray didn't win Wimbledon.

Not trying to be a smart arse, honestly. But why do we care? Isn't BBC SPOTY an anachronism? Their achievements speak for themselves, why do we need some extra pecking order? It's divisive, from yesteryear and time for it to be dropped. They lost the plot last year in not having any female nominees, particularly in the light of Chrissie Wellington's achievements.

its easy.

the words "Team GB and Paralympics GB" on the trophy. they truly are the personalities of the year.

The juxtapostion of your positive comment and your negative avatar is very odd.

I think the GB teams will win team of the year

Sod team GB, it should be the Games Makers who win it, no shadow of doubt!

Colin Moynihan (of all people) came up with a smart idea. Give it to the Olympics volunteers.

When can I vote? WHEN CAN I VOTE??!! Seriously, what a fantastic gesture that would be, and It would also neatly avoid all the endless debates over who was the best.

None of the Paralympians have a pray

Cough Sarah Storey, David Weir, the guy Peacock.. Heck even Ellie Simmonds! cough cough!

Oh and the international award? Oscar Pistorius of course, no question!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

its not personality but achievement based and on that score wiggins or murray should be 1st and 2nd

People, people!! Much as I want Wiggo to win...... Sarah Storey, you have forgotten about SARAH STOREY!!

Call yourselves Cycling fans? FFS!

 

[Drago]

Wouldn't the money the BBC spend on this be better used for more/better quality cycling coverage?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Sorry, but having been there at Brands Hatch and personally seeing her win her 11th gold medal, OVERTAKING THE MENS RACE IN THE PROCESS, I feel passionate about it along with the Games Maker idea!

Sorry, I got all excited there.

I don't understand Mo Farah - sure he won, and he definitely has a personality, but those brothers who did the triathlon doing the 10k about 90 seconds slower than Farah, who hadn't just swam and cycled - that's more of an acheivment in my eyes.

Oh aye i forgot about them they're fantastic and much more worthy than Farah IMO

Good! My sister was a Games Maker at both the Olympics and Paralympics. She lives in Brum, but has been staying in digs in London for the past 5 weeks, missing hubby and kids no doubt. I'm sure she'd love to be nominated for SPOTY!

It would be such a cool way of saying Thankyou to all of them (not just your sister), it has to be said!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Or at the very least, have a special honoury SPOTY award on behalf of them all!
