Don't vote for lewis. All the previous winners their career results have gone to **** after winning.

Paula radcliff, pulled out of the marathon, johnny wilkinson, turned to glass. and so on and so on.

I'll be voting for someone like bradley wiggins or that becky romero girl.

My post came over a bit harsher than I meant it to sound - perhaps should have a or something in it!

Anyway, Hoy gets my vote

If Lewis wins will they allow his old man to stand behind him during his acceptance speach so he can gurn away like a good 'un??

Thumbs up

Rebecca Adlington - decent unassuming lady who just happened to smash the world record. A genuine athlete IMHO (who hasn't got a snowball's chance of winning ) dl


Rebecca Adlington (born 17 February 1989 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England) is a British freestyle swimmer. She won two gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in the 400 m and 800 m, breaking the 19 year-old world record of Janet Evans in the 800 m final. Adlington is Britain's first Olympic swimming champion since 1988, the first British swimmer to win two Olympic gold medals since 1908 and is Great Britain's most successful Olympic swimmer in 100 years.[

We have suddenly produced a load of good swimmers and cyclists

I could only really name David Wilkie from the past

(mind you in terms of historical success the only athletes who stick in my memory are Coe,Ovett,Cram,Daly Thompson)

I think Rebecca Adlington should stand a good chance. She seems to be a lovely person and has had quite a bit of media exposure.....

I don’t dislike him. He’s just terminally dull and devoid of personality.

Yep. She won gold in her "weaker" event and then smashed the longest standing world record left in swimming to take another gold.

Chris Hoy for me Although I wouldn't be disappointed if Rebecca Adlington wins it


Should Lewis Hamilton decide to ditch the McLaren for a drive in a lesser car, like say the Toyota or Honda, and win the championship in it, then he might actually be worthy of all the adulation currently being heaped upon him, Until then my vote is staying away from him

As for Andy Murray, he should not even be on the shortlist IMO When the time came to stand up and represent his country, the guy couldn't even be bothered to turn up on time, let alone train properly
Yet strangely his form undergoes a complete turnaround when an opportunity to earn some cash comes around, he's just the Paula Radcliff of the tennis world as far as I'm concerned

Perhaps a bit more 'exposure' for Rebecca Adlington might see her win .......
