Default Kelly Holmes named Sports Personality of the Year

Well deserved too.

I thought Amir Khan would have taken young Personality of the Year, though.

Well deserved for Kelly - did something that no British woman has done before, Pinsent is amazing achievement, if a little overshadowed by Redgrave.

Personally, I struggle to see how Amir Khan, is as deserving as the olympic gold medalists, or why he is more deserving than the other silver ones? OK we haven't been doing so well at olympic boxing recently, but IIRC RIchie Woodall got gold several olympics ago, no-one got that excited.

I'm not trying to put him in the same class, I'm just saying that I thought he would have taken the YOUNG Sports Personality of the Year.

Must say I'm quite happy Kelly won, partly as she's a local lass, mainly as she's done us proud

Cool

Well deserved IMO, a true heroine, unlike Paula 'show me the money' Radcliffe. My money was on either her or King Freddie

Matthew Pinsent IMO should not even have been in the running, he seems to benefit from the same media blindspot as Alan Shearer did when he was England captain. He and James Cracknell should not even have been in that boat, the coxless four were kicking *** without them. They were 'eased' into that boat because they were **** as a pair

I think Amir Khan may have been two old to qualify for young sports personality - think they said you had to be under 17 at the start of the year?

Otherwise, he would have been a cert for it!

Thumbs down

Cant believe the Ryder Cup team didnt win team of the year.
Whipping the americans in there own back yard was such an achievement.

Had the captain been british and not german i bet they would have won

I thought the Ryder cup team should have won too. Going to america against some of the best players in the world and completely showing them up was a fantastic achievement.

Kelly holmes was well deserved for the individual though
