I think Mo connected with the public more imo. Reckon it will be Farah-Wiggins-Murray as the 1-2-3.

I think in a year of brilliant British sporting achievements, Bradley Wiggins does manage to stand above the rest with what he's done. I do think that Mo connected more with the public, however there was a huge amount of connection with Wiggins when he won his gold. He went from a great British sportsperson to a bona fide legend. He's rightly favourite and I will probably cast a vote for him, the first time I've ever voted. The only thing I thought may go against him would be how competitive cycling has been and his rivals would be there but honestly I don't think there will be any others apart from Hoy in the final 10. Two of the last four have gone to cyclists, an excellent chance it will go to three of five.

It's impossible to pick 10 from a list containing these names:

 

Alistair Brownlee

Andy Murray

Ben Ainslie

Bradley Wiggins

Charlotte Dujardin

Chris Hoy

David Weir

Ellie Simmonds

Greg Rutherford

Hanna Cockroft

Jason Kenny

Jessica Ennis

Jonnie Peacock

Katherine Grainger

Laura Trott

Mo Farah

Nicola Adams

Rory McIlroy

Sarah Storey

Sophie Christiansen

Tom Daley

Victoria Pendleton

 

That's discounting the 'usual' names like Ronnie O'Sullivan, AP McCoy and Phil Taylor who've also had great years again and would probably normally be nominated.

 

+ with the Ryder Cup, World Title Fight and F1 title wrap up these can be added as potential final 10 possibilities.

Carl Froch

Graham McDowell

Justin Rose

Lewis Hamilton

Luke Donald

 

If I had to pick 10, I'd go for Murray, Wiggins, Hoy, Weir, Simmonds, Ennis, Peacock, Farah, Adams and McIlroy. Wiggins > Weir > Murray my top 3.

Certainly the usual token inclusions (e.g. world snooker champion, a footballer, a cricketer) will be absent from the list this year.

You'd hope so. Oliver Holt of the Mirror has confirmed he's voted for Frank Lampard as his sole footballer though... Assume that votes by each institution are a combination of various people within that though not sure.

Well done to GB's Heather Watson who become the first British female in 24 years to win an WTA singles title with victory in the Japan Open after beating Chinese Taipei's Chang Kai-chen on a tie-break in the final set.

 

7-5 5-7 7-6 (7-4)

 

What a fantastic moment for British female tennis and a good month for them with Robson reaching the Guangzhou Open final last month and reaching the fourth round of the US Open.

 

What a bright future for British tennis with two of the highest prospects for Britain in the woman's tour doing very well at the moment and climbing up the rankings.

 

 

Oh that's fabulous, and just when it looked like Laura was beginning to leave Heather behind.

What do you think of the presentation of Andy, this season i think that it is presented very well!
