Well i am glad that Hoy won, but i was in the anybody but Hamiltion group. I just dislike F1, it is just so god damn boring imo and i think the British public are slowly coming round that point of view. There was a time when Damon Hill won it for finishing 2nd in Championship.

Just seems a bit stange that over £1 million was put on betfair alone and she was less than evens and she would come 3rd i expected to lose on lewis until she was announced as 3rd i will pick that one out my eye later but since this is voted for by the public i believe, i'm just bit suprised at it gg nh wp Chris Hoy

Hoy was 5/1 when i looked today but drifting all the time as Addlington got stronger and stronger.
Fair result. He got more golds and Lewis can win his event every year.
Note on team of the year. Cyclists were sepeate as they dominated the world championships as well and the olympics gb team obviously didn't go to that.

The betting was really strange. After the olympics Adlington became favourite. Then after Hamilton won the Championship he went to heavily odds on. The for some reason 2 weeks ago Adlington came right back into odds-on again. For no reason at all as far as I could see. At that point I was fairly sure my goose was cooked. Fortunately I was wrong.

because two weeks ago was when everyone realised alexandra was gonna win x factor and punters couldnt see the public voting for a black person on consecutive days, neither could i actually. the public will have a black person as their disposable pop idol but not as there sporting hero. racist ban for britain IMO! |

Phelps not winning Overseas is quite amazing. Though Bolt is waaaaaay more entertaining.

Delighted that Chris Hoy won this tonight, and equally delighted that he seemed genuinely overwhelmed to have done so.
Bobby Charlton's richly deserved lifetime achievement award was another touching moment in the show.
I think most of tonight's awards went to the right recipient, but there really have been some fantastic achievements in British sport in the last 12 months.

I hate F1 as much as anyone, but Hamilton's achievement this year is far greater than Hoy's IMHO.

Vicky Pendleton would have got my vote if she was on the list.  I thought the right people won in all/most of the categories. Glad to see Hoy (he's British) win. Tremendous performance at the Olympics and Worlds, and I'm sure the millions Hamilton gets will cushion the blow of him not winning SPOTY. Best team was obviously between manu and the cycling team. Glad the cycling team got it ldo. Little Emily deserved the young personality of the year, although Adlington could have won this as well. Was also glad Bolt won the overseas one ahead of Phelps, although both were deserving. Good choice for the coach of the year as well. No sure what Harry was doing in that short-list though! |
