Sports Personality of the Year, will you be voting?

[LittleAbruzzenBearLovesYuleLog]

Should be interesting. I will be voting for Wiggo because I like his dry sense of humour, he won the Tour de France, which is a major, huge feat (especially for a Brit) and his gentlemanly conduct on the 'Tack-gate' stage, the French love him, then he goes and takes gold at the olympics and he has encouraged many youngsters to get on their bikes. DH and I think there should be a male and female category though.

I loved it, I was torn as to who I wanted to win, there were so many great athletes in the short list.

Being very shallow I want to know what dirt Emeli Sande has on someone high up, there are so many amazing singers out there why is she everywhere, she sang twice at both Olympic ceremonies and then again last night, she's a fine enough singer but surely we could have a bit of variety?

I think Mo's wife and her kid may well have lost him a few votes - they don't come across well in interviews.

Can't warm to the wife at all. On the red carpet approach she was glued to his side, refused to move so the photographers could get a picture of Mo on his own and when the reporters asked questions she'd butt in and answer them.

@Eugenes Did he expect her to wear a sack? she w dressed a lot more demurely than some of the women there. She looked fabulous because she is fabulous - it wasn't the dress.

It's impossible to imagine what a great achievement it was for Bradley to win it. There are very few people who could even just ride one stage of it, let alone every day for three weeks, AND win it!

And yet people do just that every year .

I think Ellie Simmonds is incredible. What she has overcome to perform at that level is truly amazing and a huge achievement.

It makes no difference - it is all personal opinion so [shrug]

well done Wiggo - and for being funny, and thanking all the right people, and not saying 'you know' umpteen times.

if Andy Murray had won, would the real trophy have been in America as well? What a hilarious 30 seconds of farce, love it.

note to Jessica Ennis - lovely dress but heels that high make anyone walk like a duck. Next time choose something you can move in.

can somebody please feed the Duchess of Cambridge?

Love Wiggo.

Can't help feeling his missed a trick with his speech though. Immediately after the bit about the free bar paid for by the BBC and how he hoped everyone would join him for a drink, he should have turned to DofC and said "Not so much you though love"....

The best bit was him calling Sue Barker Susan. I reckon that's what won it for him.

Personally, I thought that made him look like a bit of a twat.

I suspect from your posts that you thought that before. Bias is a terrible thing.

Well, Ivy, even if you get to compete at an Olympics, you are a winner of a kind.

And all the top 10 will make loads of dosh, I presume.

I thionk Wiggos outfit was smart; but he was wearing it tongue in cheek. A northern p+ss take.

...he's not northern though.

no, but he chooses to live in the N so he's an honorary northerner

A few shallow observations. Wigs wife's eyelashes were a no no. Don't like mo's wife. She looks really difficult. She seems aggressive and pushy and I know it's awful but his daughter seems a bit of a bad mannered chid.
Thought kate looked good considering. Love Claire balding. I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of wiggins.

Agree mo's wife is overbearing. She sulked when he won his second gold cos she wasn't allowed on the pitch and she stuck to him
Like a leech on the Rex carpet. He's so gentle and funny and wonder what he sees in her. Step daughter was brattish but very cute. Wiggos wife: omg. Totally overdone.

Jess looked wow! That dress looked great on her. Really really wanted her, Katherine or Ellie to win.

Red. Not Rex.

Also loved the awkward Murray moment!! We had belly laughs thanks to that.

Late to the party as usual...

I voted for Weir, not because I thought he deserved it over any of the others particularly but because I wanted him to do very well in the overall standings.

Which he did

It's a shame the Paralympians didn't do

better....pressed post too soon

but lovely news tha tSarah Storey is pg- so doubt she cares

did any one notice that when Mo said about the birth of his twins that he now had "two beautiful daughters", brat child mouthed to her mother " it should be three".

And Kate looked lovely!

amother - yes I did notice that. The thing is Gary Lineker asked him specifically about being dad to new twins, he wasn't deliberately excluding her.

And yet people do just that every year

No people don't cycle the tour, hard core cyclists try to cycle the tour and sometimes even they don't make it

Quite harsh calling a little girl you don't even know "brat child" . If Mo has been Dad to her since she was very little, then I'm not surprised she was a little put out. She's a child.

God almighty, what is with the judgements on Mo's wife? Considering all you know about her is probably about 30 minutes total footage of her in highly-emotional and public situations, it seems a bit unfair to deem her "pushy" and "aggressive".

Where is the support for women on here sometimes, eh?
