Sports personality of the year

I would give it to Hamilton.

And Bruce, I will give my reasons why.

Firstly, the year before he made the step-up to F1, he raced in A1-GP IIRC. And they are all spec cars. So the cars are all equal, just the different teams set them up differently. He won that, beating all of the other hot-prospects.

He was so good infact, McLaren had him replace the departing Kimi Raikkonen. His first year he took it to the reigning WC and whooped all over him. He lost out to his own immaturity. Then he comes back the next (this)year and has a 'bad' start to the season and then goes on a rampage, racking up the points all over the show. This, all while the FIA continue their anti-McLaren vendetta (IMO they have it in for them). And he still wins it. Amazing.

And in between the 2 seasons, as McBain said earlier, puts in a tremendous time in the Suzuki Liana, beating most of the other F1 drivers (who had dry track in front of them) ON A WET TRACK!!!!

And remember, 2 seasons in F1, youngest ever F1 champ.
 
I don't like F1 or Cycling so I'd give it to Phil Jagielka.

My favourite moment in sport (apart from footie) this year was provided by Bolt.
But Michael Phelps achievment was incredible (I don't like swimming) and Rafael Nadal won The French open, Wimbledon, Olympic gold and dethroned Federer as world number 1. He was unluckily injured and missed out on Spain's Davis cup triumph (I went off tennis years ago).


Win :D
 
The only way it depends on that fight is if Rahman shits it, Runs 100m in 8.5 seconds to the nearest pool, where he then wins 25 golds, gets out and then wins two consecutive British Opens in golf with his gloves on.



I would love to see Harrington win it as what he did, by retaining the British open is a special feat, but the fact that Usain Bolt loitered over the finish line is just supreme.

Add todays honour of being awarded European golfer of the year to that list. I got a £5 bet on him at 35/1 a few months back, dont know what odds he is now, but its the old people who vote on that show and he's in with a shout am telling you!
 

I don't care who wins. I just want to see victoria pendleton again. She is looking fine tonight.


But in all fairness.

I would give it Calzaghe again.

I'd agree, but I am not on side with the vitriol aimed at hamilton by the press, and hoy deserves at least a big sloppy kiss for 3 olympic golds.

imagine him and castillo pedalling to victory - wall to wall thighs!

I agree with you there. Hamilton gets a hell of a lot of undeserved abuse.

He won it against all the odds, and the biased of the supposed review boards that seem to have been trying to stitch up McLaren.

Everyone nominated deserves it, Murray is another deserved nominee.


This year, Calzaghe became a legend. For that in itself he should retain it.

If he deserved it last year, then this year even more so.
 
Im a boxing fan, so Calzaghe for me automatically.

Hatton has made his way back after a bad choice 12 months ago, so also deserves mention.

Overseas/foreign personality? difficult one... tour de france winner? him that beat de la hoya? and im sure there are a few clean olympians that did amazing things...
 
Overseas would have to be the whole spanish squad.

Basically for making an international football tournament interesting again.
