Who is going to be the sports man or woman for 2012?

No doubt the BBC’s poll will be along soon but who do you think deserves to be the sports man or woman of this fabulous sporting year for the Brits?

In no particular order -
　

1 – Everybody’s golden girl and London Olympic champion – Jess Ennis




2 – The first Brit to win the iconic Tour de France and join holder of the most Olympic medals for Britain including 2012 gold – Bradley Wiggins




3 – London double Olympic gold medal winner – Mo Farah




4 – Winner of the most gold medals ever for Britain in the Olympics 116 year history – Sir Chris Hoy




5 – Arguably the best British sailor since Lord Nelson and winner of the last four Olympic game golds - Ben Ainslie




6 – The dour Scot that broke all our hearts by first winning an Olymic gold then winning the first major tennis tournament by a Brit since Adam was a lad – Andy Murray




7 – Paralympion winner of four Olympic golds at London from the 800m up to and including the marathon and probably the greatest wheelchair athlete in the worls – ever – David Wier




8 – Multi World Champion and Olympic medalist, including a gold in London and Strictly Come Dancing favourite to win – former track cyclist - Victoria Pendleton.




9 – The world’s best golfer and current number one – and faster and younger to win his second major than even Tiger (keep it in your pocket) Woods! – Rory McIlroy




10 – For outstanding management of a football team, ability to pick winners in the transfer market and fighting off all comers to resign Zat Knight to a new two year contract! – Owen Coyle.




Three votes for you to choose - use them well!

I should have looked at the pictures first - I would have voted for Victoria Pendleton.

You have three votes if you want them remember.

I've not gone for Jess or Mo at all - they've done well obviously but at the end of the day I don't think they've done anything 'special' like the following -

Wiggins is my top choice - he made history by winning the Tour de France (ok the course suited him and his biggest rivals were all, shall we say under drug clouds and indisposed at the time but never the less he won, and won well).

He also picked up another Olympic gold medal and along with Chris Hoy as the most Olympic medals in the whole history of British sport.

Number two is Murray - I'm not a big tennis fan but even I know their are four truly great tennis players about in the last few years and for Murray not only to constantly get in to semi's and finals but to actually win one of the grand slams for the first time since before computers were invented is something really special. Add in his Olympic gold and what a year he as enjoyed.

Number three is Sir Chris Hoy. I thought he had no chance for a gold this year - he wasn't even picked for his best event - Bolton's Jason Kenny went in that - and won gold - so to win two more goals at this Olympics - to make him the most successful British Olympian ever, was a truly outstanding achievement.

Great sportsmen, great year for sports, wonderful achievements.

It really has been a great year for the Brits and I wouldn't like to bet on who will finally get the nod.

I reckon Usain Bolt is a shoe in for the International Sports Personality of the year.

Wiggins
Mo
Hoy

1St Bradley Wiggins
2nd Mo Farah
3rd Andy Murray

If she dresses like that, I might not get to the Dancing bit.

I'll get my coat.
