The shortlist for Sports Personality of the Year has been released.
Joe Calzaghe – Undisputed world super-middleweight boxing champion.
No argument but I don’t think a boxer really stands a chance nowadays.
Lewis Hamilton – World championship runner-up in his rookie Formula One season.
Loser!
Ricky Hatton – Fights Floyd Mayweather for WBC world title on eve of show.
See above.
Andy Murray – Broke into the world top 10 despite an injury that ruled him out of Wimbledon.
Loser!
Christine Ohuruogu – Returned from one-year ban for missing three drugs tests to land world 400m title in Osaka.
Possible drugs cheat? My favourite even if it’s just for the possible bad aftertaste next year :0)
Paula Radcliffe – Won the New York Marathon just 10 months after giving birth to a baby daughter.
Two races, one win? Hasn’t she already won it once before so really she needs to win the Olympics to have a chance at it again. Saying that probably more deserving than most of the others.
Jason Robinson – Retired after playing key part in England making the Rugby World Cup final.
Loser!
Justin Rose – Captured golf’s European Order of Merit title.
Golf? Sport!
James Toseland – Claimed the World Superbikes Championship for the second time.
Well done shame the real action is in MotoGP hey.
Jonny Wilkinson – Shrugged off injury to help England to Rugby World Cup final.
Loser!
So that’s Lewis Hamilton walking away with that trophy then. No need to waste your money voting!
