Sports personality of the year, tomorrow night......

[schmalex]

Any preference for the winner?

I actually hope that Lewis doesn't get it. I would much prefer to see one of our Olympic team pick it up. Maybe Ben Ainslie or Rebecca Adlington.

[Corpulent Tosser]

Is Joe Calzaghe up for it, I would be pleased to see him win. Would settle for Hamilton though.

What about her?

I think the personality bit rules Lewis out.....
Chris Hoy has it in my book.

[astroarcadia]

Should be an olympian.

Rebecca Adlington seems to be mentioned alot. Not sure she should win in terms of greatest achievement but she does come across as down to earth and very normal. Unlike Hamilton who has done very well this year but has that world champion dull personality, besides he will be in contention for years to come?

Even though I am an F1 watcher and like Hamilton, it has to be Hoy. 3 Olympic Golds and riding at 40+ MPH around a track, against, sitting in the best F1 car and only just wining the world championship....no contest.

[alfaman]

should be Chris Hoy - a real athlete and an amazing achievement - he also comes across as a nice person.

[sm0273]

I hope Beckham wins it.

young sports personality should of been Scott redding 15 yaer old that won the british 125 gp on a 2 or 3 year old bike and was rookie of the year.Also the youngest motorbike gp winner ever better than Rossi!!!! but he didnt make it into top 3!

Totally agree, his first British GP and he wins it . . . I was lucky enough to be there.

Unfortunately it'll go to some diver who actually did the square of eff all but was followed about by the BBC . . .

do you want me to breast feed you?

["Torquemada"]

I want Rebecca Romero to win but she won't.

Absolutely demented single-minded focus on winning at all costs.

To be fair the Ferrari was probably the better car over the course of the season, Massa and Raikkonen just didn't make the most of it and got beat.

You don't even know her name and yet you want to put her forward for an award that she's too young for and that she doesn't deserve.

My prediction is:-

1st: Lewis Hamilton
2nd: Chris Hoy
3rd: Rebecca Adlington

What should it be:-

1st: David Roberts (wiki him of you don't know who he is)
2nd: Ben Ainslie (3 gold in last 3 Olympics more impressive than 3 in one Olympics in my opinion)
3rd: Chris Hoy
