Who's going to win it then? It's just started and the six sportsmen for the top prize are on stage. I'm sure it has to be Lewis Hamilton, first brit to ever win five Formula 1 championships.

1 Jimmy Anderson

2 Dina Asher Smith

3 Lewis Hamilton

4 Harry Kane

5 Geraint Thomas

6 Lizzy Yarnold

Harry Kane will win it.

No Ronnie O'Sullivan, when will that man get a look in?

Probably never. I could be wrong but I don't think Snooker would ever be considered as a major enough sport. It's probably not seen to be in the same league athletically and internationally as all the other sports chosen.

Ah, Ronnie just got some recognition.

Merlin5 · 16 Dec 2018 at 21:01

And the winner is...

Merlin5 · 16 Dec 2018 at 21:02

Oh for gods sake, Lewis 2nd?

I must admit I was surprised myself when he said that. I also thought he came across slightly over confident almost as though he thought he'd won it. Who knows, he might have got more votes and won if it wasn't for those things.
