QUOTE(twentyonemdh @ Nov 6 2016, 06:27 PM)  The irony when the award is 'PERSONALITY' and Andy Murray is void of any personality whatsoever  And the winner is...... the dullest person in the entirety of Scotland!!!!!!! |

Yet again the personality? Goes to Murray again. surely 3 times is the limit for someone to win it.

Simone Blies won Overseas Sports Personality.
Leicester City won Team of The Year. Claudio Ranieri won Coach of The Year. Michael Phelps got Lifetime Achievement Award Ellie Robinson won Young Sports Personality. Glad Blies won the Overseas award fully deserved. |

He's won it after his first Wimbledon, after the Davis Cup and now after becoming the world no.1 (alongside a second Wimbledon and defence of his Olympic title). Where can he go from here? (career grand slam I guess if he can achieve it..) |

Very pleased Nick Skelton got top 3, I admittedly didn't know much of him before the Olympics but what an incredible achievement, even if it was at the expense of Mo Farah. Predictable winner but not undeserved, gonna need someone new to rise at some point though as it's getting a bit stale.

Utterly predictable and although well deserved, with so many amazing nominations this year with some fantastic achievements - notably Mo Farah - I was hoping we'd have a surprise. Oh well/

None of the Leicester players and their manager Claudio Ranieri looked too happy to win those awards, it was fully deserved of course but it feels so weird to see due to their current form this season.

QUOTE(richie @ Dec 2 2016, 08:20 AM) Farah still wouldn't have won last year in any case as he perplexingly failed to make the rostrum.  Maybe I'm wrong in thinking he's one of the greatest athletes of all time? |

(career grand slam I guess if he can achieve it..) If he were to win all 4 Grand Slam titles in the same year then yes he'll be nominated again. Yes it was a predictable winner and he did deserve it with winning Wimbledon, becoming No1 and the defence of his Olympic title. Incredible achievement from Nick Skelton to finish in the Top3. Fully deserved. If Farah does the double again next year surely he'll be recognised for those achievements. or possibly snooker player Mark Selby getting an nomination if he were to win the Triple Crown (UK, World & The Masters).

An absolute landslide as I expected, many congrats to the most prolific SPOTY winner of all time! Here's to next year of hopefully world domination.

QUOTE(JingleBellsMack @ Dec 19 2016, 03:24 PM) If Farah does the double again next year surely he'll be recognised for those achievements. I don't think he will. I mean, I hope he'll do the double yet again where it matters (a triple double of worlds) but he won't win SPOTY as somebody will probably excel in a more popular sport. In a way it's great as I don't pay for Sky or BT sports but still get to see all major track and field events on Eurosport and the BBC. I guess that sweetens the fact that Mo will probably only finally be recognised when he rightly is given the lifetime achievement award in a few years. |
