Can only be Wiggins

Wins the hardest event in the world drug free plus the most prestigious warm up races, Gold medal 10 days later, I believe he has the most amount of medals.

Top bloke who speaks his mind in the PC era.

i think everyone on that list has achieved something incredible this year.

it's just that when you look at the make up, its almost too perfectly balanced for gender, race, disability...

not saying that none of them deserve to be on that list, just that it looks like it may not have been selected on achievement/personality alone.

think jason kenny should be on there, also dont know what else carl froch has to do

Re: Sports Personality Of The Year 2012

Mon Nov 26, 2012 10:01 pm

froch and kenny are decent shouts. More so kenny i feel

but you already have two cyclists on the list, i think 3 would have been too much. Also, if you are only going to have two, i think they have picked the correct ones.

She is over the moon Paul, but when you look how the bbc work, over history they choose from a sport that they show e.g. Golf, horse racing, tennis etc., so we shall see.
Don't know if anybody trains as hard as Ellie tho, she is relentless, even at 5.30 in the morning, a joy to coach :ayatollah:

glad she is happy, but the list is chosen indepentantly, and voted by us. I imagine she will not win. But to be nominated in what has clearly been our finest ever year of sport is fantastic, and i hope she enjoys the night! :ayatollah:

shouldnt really matter


mcllroy has had an amazing season, and would win if it wasnt an olympic year (though you could say the same about murray)

another good name not on the list is Alistar cook

Re: Sports Personality Of The Year 2012

Mon Nov 26, 2012 10:07 pm

true. cookie is a pure hero! dare say he's got plenty of opportunity to win one in future years tho, particularly after he's captained an ashes victory next year. guess kenny will have more olympic opportunities aswell, i genuinely think he could go down as one of the greatest british olympians

well when you look at his age, he still has another 3 or perhaps even 4 olympics in him, its just weather he can stay at the top

Wiggo or Murray for me. Wiggins prob edges it though, just.

Sports "personality" would be a bit ironic for Murray. Zzzzzzz

Re: Sports Personality Of The Year 2012

Mon Nov 26, 2012 11:52 pm

Mo farah will win.

A Somali success story is needed to gel the communities.

Wether he gets the most votes is a different matter, if you know what I mean.

Still, he'd get my vote.

Great athlete and a great personality to match.
