Welcome to the World Cup of Sportspeople! With the Women's Football World Cup This is the Voting stage for Europe. We received 193 different nominations in all - taking away our auto-qualifiers, Roger Federer and Cristiano Ronaldo, this gives us four groups of 47/48 players*. Here's how this stage is going to work. - You can vote for up to 25 sportspeople, but you must vote for at least 10. - You must rank your votes in order of preference, either by numbering or by the standard Buzzjack +25, +24 ... +1 (Or down to however many you vote for) - You must vote for sportspeople from at least three different sports - You must vote for at least one male and one female sportsperson. - Each sportsperson has been given a short description of their major achievements to make it easier for you to make up your mind. - The seven sportspeople with the most votes in each group will advance to the Final, whilst the three next highest players will advance to the Intercontinental Playoffs. Everyone else will be booted out. *Group 2 is slightly smaller as a result of some nominated sportspeople being ineligible: Martina Navratilova is ineligible as she most recently played for the USA National Team Group 1 Alberto Ascari (Italy -

RESULTS Finalists: Sebastian Coe Mo Farah Lewis Hamilton Stephen Hendry Bobby Moore Steve Redgrave Bradley Wiggins Advance to Playoffs: Dennis Bergkamp Alan Shearer Zinedine Zidane Eliminated: (7th: 74pts - won by tiebreak) (10th: 67pts - won by tiebreak) 67 Peter Schmeichel 64 Chris Froome 59 Nigel Mansell 58 Miguel Indurain 57 Beryl Burton 52 Daley Thompson 51 Martina Hingis 51 Henry Cooper 46 Alistair Brownlee 42 Jonathan Edwards 41 Nick Faldo 37 Gino Bartali 37 Paul Scholes 34 Michel Platini 33 Gianluigi Buffon 31 Sarah Storey 30 Sarah Sjöström 28 John Terry 28 Jenson Button 27 Seve Ballesteros 25 Stirling Moss 21 Alberto Ascari 20 Carlos Sainz 18 Laszlo Cseh 17 Paul Gascoigne 17 Ronnie Peterson 16 Denis Law 16 Luka Modric 12 Manuel Neuer 11 Dafne Schippers 9 Yelena Isinbayeva 8 Greg Rutherford 8 Federica Pelligirini 7 Tim Henman 4 Gareth Bale A considerably more spread-out group produces a very...erm... British-looking Top 7 (well at least it offsets last round), with both cut-off points being decided by tiebreaks. Only two sportspeople with scores over 100 this round as well! |

Surprised how Stephen Hendry did, but very pleased he has qualified for the final. Good bunch of finalists there.
