Yeah I was kind of hoping a stripogram or Mini-Me would pop out of it.

That woman must have balls the size of baseballs to do that.

muon · 20 Dec 2015 at 21:00

Just switched on.

Guaranteed to be Murray right?

Pigeon_Killer · 20 Dec 2015 at 21:02

Ennis-Hill in 3rd :eek:

That's a big shock, bookies had a certainty for top 2.

Merlin5 · 20 Dec 2015 at 21:03

1 ????

2 Kevin Sinfield
3 Jessica Ennis Hill

Congrats Andy Murray

The_One · 20 Dec 2015 at 21:03

Murray does it again

spudbynight · 20 Dec 2015 at 21:06

I'd have been voting for Fury if I had remembered to.

Merlin5 · 20 Dec 2015 at 21:06

Mint!

Bit late

Voted for Sinfield and great to see him come in second. A true RL legend.

Voted for Armitstead, although i think Froome's achievements are a bit more impressive that's not really a fair comparison considering the women's cycling calendar, and i would have liked to see women's cycling get a bit more exposure. Still, i thought it was going to be between Murray and Farah considering those are the two big household names that have had good years, somewhat surprised Farah wasn't even in the top three.

EDIT: Supposedly a full list of results, very disappointing to see Fury up so high (majority of people seemed to vote for him just to **** off others, i mean what the hell?) and Armitstead and Froome so low. To be expected considering cycling isn't that popular in the UK yet, but Farah i really don't understand why he's not higher.

It's not about a personality, never has been. Should be called sports popularity

I partly agree and you could certainly blame the ECB for their lack of sight in throwing live cricket on free-to-air...

But you've a player who's the #1 test batsman in the world who plays like he's having a laugh with his mates. Talented, cheeky, funny and just a likeable character, certainly the poster boy that could get children into picking up a bat and having a go.

But putting exposure aside he's done a hell of lot this year and why he was brushed aside is beyond me...

Probably down to the cheating accusations with his trainer etc etc

So who wins 2016?

There is

Andy Murray (1 gold medal, Wimbledon winner, 2 GS finals, and US open still to go)
Jason Kenny (3 gold medals)
Laura Trott (2 gold medals)
Max Whitlock (2 gold and 1 bronze medals)
Mo Farah (likely 2 gold medals)

I think if Murray wins the US Open he should get it again. The ATP finals would also be quite an achievement.

Pigeon_Killer · 16 Aug 2016 at 23:22

Murray has the advantage in the sense that if he does win the US he'll be fresh in everyone's mind but the quality of the field is exceptional this year. I'd give it to Kenny tbh

Murray. I have criticised him a lot in the past, but fair play, credit where it is due. He is basically world number one at the moment and seems like a decent guy at that.

Would have to think Froome would be up there. The "cycling vote" will probably be split again though. Don't think anyone would be unhappy with Mo.
