Kadeena Cox because she medalled in two different events

KatieScarlett · 18/12/2016 19:19

Andy Murray

Someaddedsugar · 18/12/2016 19:19

Nick Skelton as he shows that age shouldn't be a barrier - and he's a lovely man

NoTractorsAtTheTable · 18/12/2016 19:20

Nick Skelton - childhood hero Smile

WallisFrizz · 18/12/2016 19:21

Murray or Jason Kenny

braceybracegirl · 18/12/2016 19:22

Max Whitlock or kate Richardson walsh. Both inspiring. Although they all are!

braceybracegirl · 18/12/2016 19:22

Or Mo. The Olympics were great!

AmIthatbloodycold · 18/12/2016 19:23

I do love Nick. But it's got to be Andy Murray. Again.

peponi · 18/12/2016 19:25

Andy Murray.
Close second Alistair brownlee and one of the kenny's

AllThePrettySeahorses · 18/12/2016 19:25

Andy Murray. Wimbledon for the second time plus world no 1 - should be Sir Andy by now.

LineyReborn · 18/12/2016 19:26

Andy Murray's achievement has been immense. But haven't they all?

It's tricky one. Such bloody awesome women and men.

Which is good.

Silvertap · 18/12/2016 19:26

Max Whitlock for me

ilovesooty · 18/12/2016 19:26

Claudio Ranieri - coach of the year. Brilliant!

I expect Andy Murray will win again.

poochiepants · 18/12/2016 19:27

If it's really based on personality, then Laura Kenny gets my vote.....

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 18/12/2016 19:27

Andy Murray for me, what a year he's had

Polkadotties · 18/12/2016 19:27

I would love Nick Skelton to win but I think Andy Murry will win

It's such a shame that Andy got world number one on an Olympic year. It's such a big deal but our olympians really deserve it too and in many ways have been more inspiring whether it's age, over coming a fall, near disqualification or para Olympic doubles. I'm a tennis fan so I think it might go that way.

Alastair Brownlee. After helping his brother across the line.

Grumpbum · 18/12/2016 19:32

Nick Skelton

Hulababy · 18/12/2016 19:32

Ii know Andy Murray got world number one this year, but would prefer it to be an olympian this year - and he has already won it in 2013 so not like it would be a first for him.

Andy won last year too

Hulababy · 18/12/2016 19:33

Oops and last year too as well didn't he?

SherlockPotter · 18/12/2016 19:34

Adam Peaty!

Hulababy · 18/12/2016 19:34

x post - meant to add that - so winning SPOTY this year wouldn't be a massive big thing for him surely?
