who do you want to win?

Nicola Adams
Ben Ainslie
Jessica Ennis
Mo Farah
Katherine Grainger
Sir Chris Hoy
Rory McIIroy
Andy Murray
Ellie Simmonds
Sarah Storey
David Weir
Bradley Wiggins

I can't decide ?

me neither,
david weir, ellie simmons, chris hoy, katherine grainger are my favs

David weir or bradley wiggins for me.

I'd be happy with
Wiggo
David Weir
Sarah Storey
Mo Farah

Mind you I do like Katherine Grainger too.

Not helpful at all.

Ellie Simmonds or Bradley Wiggins.

Jessica Ennis or Mo Farrah.

It's such a difficult one and I think in any normal year anyone one of them could have one.... I hope wiggins gets it. Amazing achievement winning the tour and then gold in the Olympics a couple of weeks later.

Bradley or jess ennis

Wiggins has more than just the Olympics
Mo has been doing a lot of sports charity related stuff as well as Olympics & other races.
Jess Ennis & Nicola Adams are good for female role models
Same for Ellie & Sarah plus they are good examples of people with a disability achieving

So no idea really!

Ah but the Tour should count as best team I think.

Why have only 5 women made the shortlist of 12?

5 is loads for sports personality sadly.

going purely on achievement i think it has to be Wiggins.

I would vote for Ellie, but expects Wiggins to win

it's a telephone vote on the night isn't it?

I think i'll vote for:

Wiggins
Ellie
Jess
Mo

....then i've done my bit and it's out of my hands. happy for any of them to win.

Cozy9 -last year no woman made the list...

How come nobody is mentioning Andy Murray? As much as everyone seems to dislike him, his achievements this year are comparable with Bradley Wiggins - if not more so.

An Olympic gold and silver medal sandwiched in between a Wimbledon final (first British man to do this in 74 years) and a Grand Slam win (the first British man since 1936 to do so).

I thought someone else won Wimbledon? Didn't Andy Murry come in second?

yes he didn't win Wimbledon but he reached the final which no British man had done for years, then won Olympic gold and silver, and then won the US open

It's got to be Wiggo surely? I don't envy anyone making the decision this year - it's very, very tough indeed, but all things considered I don't see how it can NOT be Wiggo.

Wiggo, successful cyclist though he is, doesn't actually have much of a personality though! Same for Murray! I want one of the girls to win but it's hard to say who.

This award isn't based on achievement but personality!

No, it is based on achievement.

Well the short list may have been but seeing as the public vote the winner, it's more of a popularity contest.

It should be based on achievements but as it is a phone vote by the public it does turn into a popularity contest which is wrong.

Still stand by my previous assertion that Murray's achievements outweigh Wiggans.
