    I don't think any of them have much in the way of personality.

    Nick Skelton chortle.

  • Murray has this in the bag but I'd love to see Mo win it, one of our best ever athletes.

    Expect Murray to win but think Nicola Adams or Mo should get it.
  • Simple.

    It should be Murray by a mile, and it will be Murray by a mile

    Might be close for 2nd and 3rd - maybe Farah and Brownlee.

    Couple of footballers in there which is annoy the non-football fans!
  • Jason Kenny for me.
  • Olympic years are always tough. No cricketers or rugby players, and no Lewis Hamilton - I assume if he had won the F1 title yesterday, he would have been included?

    Mo and Gareth Bale? They having a laugh

    Gotta go to Nick Skelton or Brownlea with special mention to Nicolas Adams imo

    Well Bale is a genuinely world class footballer, and Wales got to the Euro semi finals, so seems fair to me

    Ryan Giggs was on the panel, which probably helped his cause!

    Mo

    Not a fan?

    I'd reckon he would be favourite to win if it wasn't for Murray..

    But then again he doesn't seem to get the votes going by past results.

    Olympians now suffer from the glut of gold medals we win, making their achievements feel less special, whereas back in the day of Denise Lewis or Sally Gunnell, we won bugger all!
  • Should be Brownlee but will be Murray.

    An amazing set of contenders this year!

    Nicola adams in terms of personality. Murray in terms of achievement... And personally I really like him

    If Murray hadn't lost to Nishikori in the US there wouldn't have even been a shortlist, so we can be grateful for that I guess

    Still favour him, but Farah, Skelton and a couple of others have a shout.

    Willett would have had a better shout if he'd injured himself putting on the Green Jacket and missed the rest of the golfing year

    Kenny surely if based on achievements
