![]() We made it! After months and months of digging through name after name from most of the world's countries, before sticking them together in an intercontinental battle, we've finally reached the results. Over the next (insert however long it takes to complete this) we'll give you the full countdown of the best sportspeople, as voted by you. A massive thank you to the nine of you who voted in the final, plus everyone else who has helped this contest along its way! Results will be starting soon, beginning with the 71-100 section so you've got plenty of time to predict your winner! |

I'm guessing either Pele or Muhammad Ali has won this but there was no one near the top of each person's list so this will be fairly unpredictable.

71-100
(groups 9 and 10 had their points factored down due to an extra voter taking part in these two groups) 71. ![]() 72. ![]() 73. ![]() 74. ![]() 75. ![]() 76. ![]() 77. ![]() 78. ![]() 79. ![]() 80. ![]() 81. ![]() 82. ![]() 83. ![]() 84. ![]() 85. ![]() 86. ![]() 87. ![]() 88. ![]() 89. ![]() 90. ![]() 91. ![]() 92. ![]() 93. ![]() 94. ![]() 95. ![]() 96. ![]() 97. ![]() 98. ![]() 99. ![]() 100. ![]() So here we have the bottom end of the table i.e. those who failed to make it past the group stages. This section (particularly the bottom half) is filled with people from continents who perhaps should have been given a few less qualifying spaces, however then again it introduces a few more nationalities into the Top 100 that we would probably have gotten had the allocations been a little different. Golfer Gary Player is sadly the wooden spoon in this competition, failing to even reach double figures, and in fact it's not a good competition for South Africa as a whole as their only other qualifier reaches a measly 95th place. But at least they qualified! Also towards the bottom of this list we have our only representatives from Nigeria, Fiji, Cameroon and the Ivory Coast. Stephen Hendry has the dubious honour of being the lowest-ranked European, four places behind Boris Becker, although Becker's score may be a little misrepresented as he finished last in the Group of Death. Towards the top we have some more Europeans just missing out, including Puskas who I thought would sail through to the Final. Also interesting to notice that no North Americans finished in the bottom 30. |

Quite surprised about Boris Becker only finishing 87th in this. I thought he would be much higher up.

Voted. There's no one here that looks like a glaring omission from above, though would have been nice to have Hendry representing Snooker a bit higher.

At least Hendry made the Top 100 for snooker with Ronnie O'Sullivan out in the playoffs.

51-70
(Scores calculated by adding the scores from the group stage to the number of votes in the Playoff. Ties were broken by number of playoff votes, then by highest rating given in the Group stage) 51. ![]() 52. ![]() 53. ![]() 54. ![]() 55. ![]() 56. ![]() 57. ![]() 58. ![]() 59. ![]() 60. ![]() 61. ![]() 62. ![]() 63. ![]() 64. ![]() 65. ![]() 66. ![]() 67. ![]() 68. ![]() 69. ![]() 70. ![]() And here we have the playoff losers, which are notable for being peppered with Australians (out of the 11 that qualified, only ONE managed to make the Final). Most of the Argentinian contingent crash out here also, as well as 100% of the Sri Lankan contingent which consisted solely of Muralitharan. Oh and 100% of the Welsh contingent as well. Only one North American out of all the qualifiers fails to make the Top 50, the unlucky individual being tennis player Billie Jean King. Would be interesting to see if Kipchoge had placed any higher after his super-quick marathon the other day. |

Let's kick this off then!
46-50 ![]() 46. ![]() 47. ![]() 48. ![]() 49. ![]() 50. ![]() Interestingly enough no-one got universally low scores, so every player ended up with a decent number after their name. Someone still had to take the wooden spoon though, and in this case it is late Brazilian footballer Garrincha, who was probably very lucky in the group and playoff he was placed in. Alongside him are three quarters of the African finalists, plus the only Oceanian finalist (and the only rugby player) Jonah Lomu. This group rounds up the sub-100 points scorers as well - everyone above these five is in triple figures. |

Was expecting those five to be in the bottom five. But thought Bekele would be higher up.

Garrincha a surprise package in the final. I would have to say.

41-45
![]() 41. ![]() 42. ![]() 43. ![]() 44. ![]() 45. ![]() The points really start hiking up here, as we manage to cross both 100 and 150 points in just one group. Interestingly enough we have two French footballers in this reveal, both of who had to make it through the playoffs to get into the Top 100 and into the Top 50. I thought Ronaldinho might be a bit higher with him beating Maldini in the playoffs but alas no. Pacquiao gets the dubious honour of the lowest-placed person to finish in the Top 3 of a group, however 43rd isn't remotely bad considering he's the second highest boxer here. And at #41 we have Ian Botham, who's made it to the Final based on his ability to play cricket and not on... other things. |

36-40
![]() 36. ![]() 37. ![]() 38. ![]() 39. ![]() 40. ![]() And after leaping up the points in that last group, the scoreboard once again becomes a lot tighter. At #40 we have Bobby Moore, captain of the team which won the World Cup which I've conveniently cropped from view on that picture. We then lose three of the North American contingent in a row, with the two West Indies cricketers finishing just two points apart, and Sampras being the lowest American finalist. F1 driver Alain Prost rounds off the group as the highest placed French sportsperson in this countdown. |

Same result as Ultimate Footballer with how Moore, Henry, Zidane, Ronaldinho in that order but runner-up Maradona out in the final.

31-35
![]() 31. ![]() 32. ![]() 33. ![]() 34. ![]() 35. ![]() Not going to lie, seeing Laura Kenny between Eusebio and Frankie Dettori feels a little surreal but I'll do anything for more cycling representation on here so yay. Footballer Beckenbauer and seasoned golfer Nicklaus are also in this tight-packed group! |

Great to see Frankie Dettori as high as 33rd. Very pleased that a jockey managed to make the final of the World Cup of Sportspeople.

Yes Frankie is just great! Shame Bobby Moore is lower down, and Pete Sampras, than I thought they'd be.
