I think Team GB will win the team award and Bolt the international. So far as the main award is concerned I think it will be between Mo Farah and Bradley Wiggins although if Andy Murray wins the US Open he'd become a very strong contender. I think the shortlist will be dominated by the Olympics - the above plus Ben Ainslie, Chris Hoy, Jess Ennis and Laura Trott. The campaign to get Nick and Charlotte in there should start now!
I agree it should be Bradley Wiggins but then Jessica Ennis and Charlotte Dujardin would also get my vote!
There should be a male AND a female sports personality this year.
I think Jessica Ennis will get it as the 'face of the games' - and fair enough, she carried that pressure, but I also agree with whoever said, lets start the campaign to get Charlotte du Jardin and possibly also Nick Skelton at least nominated, NOW.
My short list would be Vicky, Jess Ennis, Mo Farah, Bradley Wiggins, Ben Ainslie and perhaps Beth Tweddle too? Vicky and Beth are retiring so would be a fitting end to their careers. Chris Hoy has already won
The image of Wiggo sitting on the golden throne at Hampton Court after winning the olympic time trial, all super skinny, unzipped, tats and giving the victory v signs was one of the funniest moments of the games, for me!
So many great achievements and athletes who would be very worthy winners. Do we entirely discount the possibility of a Paralympian achieving a standout performance equally worthy of the award?
So many people are deserving I think in a way it would be a shame to pick out just one. In Olympic year I think they should recognise everyone who has taken part so for me Team GB is
sports personality of the year.
ooh I think there should be a special one this year to celebrate all our Gold madal winners. How do you choose between Mo, Wiggo, Jess, Ben Ainsly, Chris Hoy and of course Charlotte!!!!
