    He tends to just toy with his rivals, he wins as he wants.

    Sports Personalty of the year should be an interesting one <laugh>

    Imo top three be Wiggins, Murray, Ennis. Gonna be plenty contenders though.
    Coach of the year that Dave guy whose surname I forget, Is in charge of performance at British Cycling.
    Foreign athlete... Bolt? Phelps?

    Dave Brailsford isn't it?

    Don't think anybody would argue about Bolt getting some kind of recognition, he's really something else.

    That's it.

    And yeah, but on the other hand, Phelps became the most successful Olympian in history this year, so could just as easily be him <laugh>

    It will be tricky this year to choose the Sports Personality of the year, especially with it being an Olympic year, for me Wiggins should get it, but Ennis is a wonderful athlete, the media darling and poster girl of the games, she may clinch it.

    I'll give you the informative correspondent award for the games though, I've checked out the forum via my phone once or twice when I've been out and about, you and CBrad have been 'Breaking the News' on our medals. <ok>

    *Hides tears*

    And haha, well our Taekwondo medallist from Beijing got knocked out in first round, but can still fight for bronze if her defeater makes it to the final. The other Brit, the one who got in in all that controversy because the world no.1 was left out, got through his first round.

    Don't go jumping the gun, there's somebody else on the list too.

    For my money Wiggins has to be the male personality of the year and Ennis the female personality of the year, it's a no brainer.

    Joint award, he can take his glory when he returns :p

    I'm thinking Wiggins winner, then Murray second, due to reaching Wimbledon final and especially if he wins a slam later in the year, Ennis third. Gonna be difficult for them to come up with a top 10 though <laugh>

    2 silvers in the sailing so far today.

    Trott and the dressage girl both have 2 gold medals, so will be tricky. Think the top 3 will be Wiggins, Murray and Hoy.
