Quite happy that there is such a diverse list and a good mix

Delighted to see Kate RW there

Mmmm...I wonder who will win...?😕

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Far too many nominees. Waters down the event

 

[Imurg]

Seriously, why bother having any nominees?
It's obvious who's going to win.....

I like the event too but got to agree with you Homer it getting a bit like the Ballon Dor I mean so many just making up the numbers.

 

[Beezerk]

Three big guns in there, Mo, Andy and Jason, hard to decide between those 3 after the year they've had.
Mo for me though.

I like the event too but lets have a top six or seven at most. How many votes will some of those really get?

 

[fundy]

usual BBC televised love in the nominations, overload of Olympians for my tastes. The likes of Froome, Joshua and Bisping can feel pretty unlucky not to be there for me

Murray wins by a distance mind

They are the three big ones

But it's good to see such a diverse range and it shows for me how good we are as a nation in so many sports

It's prob also very satisfy and an honour for them to just be nominated for the award - good appreciation for their efforts during the year and no doubt will be a great night celebrating their achievements

 

[Pin-seeker]

Well I for one think its blooming fantastic,I can't wait to see who the winner is.

Oh wait,it'll be Andy Murray.

I agree on your top three but can't see past Murray as the winner

Come on Froome only rides a bike my kids do that,but not many kids play in goal at Hockey.

Some will see being nominated as special some will be embarrassed when they see they get hardly any votes.

I can see the Hockey girls winning a team trophy but its certainly not an individual sport.

 

[Foxholer]

Shoe in for Andy Murray imo.

Great to see Nick Skelton there though - another huge reward for his dedication!

Can't see DW getting anywhere near, more's the pity!

 

[Beezerk]

Yeah I know, I just think Mo and Jasons feats eclipse Andy in a way.

Why would Joshua be on the list?

 

[anotherdouble]

Good to see it's still being shown considering motd is about the only sport they screen

 

[Pin-seeker]

Why no Conor McGregor?

 

[Norrin Radd]

i think Chris Froome must be wondering what he has got to do to get some recognition for winning LE TOUR not once but more and Brad wins it once and gets a knighthood.

 

[user2010]

I watch it to remind me who`s died this year, so i can mark them off my death list.:thup::clap:

 

[TheDiablo]

Why no Conor McGregor?

He's Irish?
