No women, even in an Olympic year which gives women's sport a slightly higher profile than the zilch it normally gets. The women's hockey team would also had the good grace to look excited to win team of the year,the footballers just looked bored.

MiddleClassProblem · 18/12/2016 21:19

Lol well they are very small. Maaaybe 4 as that counts as 2.

Voted for Sophie - she is inspiring. So hard to decide this year, though, with 16 candidates.

Amazing.

Thought prince William fluffed his speech though - doh!

I voted for Nick. Best jump off I've ever seen live was won by him at HOYS, it was amazing. The expression on his face when he was on that Olympic podium brought a tear to my eye Star

peppatax · 18/12/2016 21:27

I genuinely think having 16 candidates was just too much choice - I think having a pre-vote to trim it down to a shortlisted 8/10 on the night would make it more competitive to be honest

Kirriemuir · 18/12/2016 21:38

Thrilled Andy won again. So deserved and such a nice guy

Facebook are complaining it's a fix as the trophy was there. They didn't seem to pay attention when the gymnast won the international award and had her trophy or that Mo Farrah had one in Dubai.

Bejazzled · 18/12/2016 21:40

No women - there are two who won awards! Ellie Robinson and ? Biles (American gymnast)

NoTractorsAtTheTable · 18/12/2016 21:42

Sophie came 5th - she was the highest placed woman for SPOTY: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/sports-personality/37524012

It was a landslide really for the top 3 wasn't it?!

NoTractorsAtTheTable · 18/12/2016 21:53

Yep, you'd have to combine everyone from 4th to 16th to beat Murray Shock

NoTractorsAtTheTable · 18/12/2016 21:54

Thanks CaveMum - I should have done that Blush

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 18/12/2016 22:08

Glad Andy won. Finally a vote in 2016 that went the way I wanted it to!

Saw Ore Oduba in the crowd. Was he crying? I expect he was crying.

AmIthatbloodycold · 18/12/2016 22:10

My three favourites. I'm so happy Andy won. He's a superstar

CocktailQueen · 18/12/2016 23:02

Wow, v interesting votes - thanks for that!

MiddleClassProblem · 19/12/2016 08:39

Poor Danny Willett that's basically family. Surprised Kadeena got so few too!

ivykaty44 · 19/12/2016 08:43

For personality

Laura Kenny

For sportsmanship
Brownies

For inspiration
Nick Skeleton

I would vote for Jason Kenny, Mo,

So I couldn't choice one winner

EnoughAlreadyLady · 19/12/2016 15:08

I think Danny Willett's brother will have negatively affected his support and number of votes!

msrisotto · 20/12/2016 07:47

What did Danny Willet's brother do?

MiddleClassProblem · 20/12/2016 09:38

I meant that it was just his family voting. I thought his brother was popular on twitter but just not in the golf world

Danny wlllets brother made some comments about the American fans at the Ryder cup, which were probably true but not very tactful!
