Sarah Storey
Keely Hodgkinson

For the World Star

Simone Biles
Catlin Clark
Catherine DeBrunner
Armand Duplantis
Sudan Hassan
Leon Marchand

Young Star

Sky Brown
Willian Ellard
Luke Littler


Yes we know it’s not about their “personality”

And yes we know BBC don’t have all the sport etc etc


For me

Great to see Sarah Storey

Between her and Hodgkinson


For the world

Duplantis or Marchand - both outstanding

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I'll behave and stick to the brief

Main: Littler
Young: Littler
World: Leon Marchand (smashed his home Olympics)

 

[Pin-seeker]

That’s a pretty poor shortlist imo

Third post and someone cracked

 

[Orikoru]

Never heard of three of them. Give it to Littler I guess. Bellingham doesn't deserve it I know that much.

World star? Biles - I've never heard of the other five.

Young star - Littler again. Never heard of the other two.

Done!

Should be an immediate block

Yeah I was scratching my head at Bellingham
Also not heard of quite a few on the list either.

23 goals for Madrid, won the league, won the CL, got to the final of the Euros. Pretty tasty season.

Keely Hodgkinson has been absolutely nailed on to win this since the Olympics.

Her sport was on BBC, she won the gold, she looks good, she's likeable and she's got the "struggle" story which sells well.

Absolute no brainer, will win it by a landslide.

Yeah but it’s a team game

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Litter for main?

Why not, he's elevated darts, won tournaments, runner up in the worlds, great for the game. Stand by him totally

I’m guessing you don’t watch much sport outside football

I think with it being a popular vote he has a great chance

See him prob winning the young star

He's nailed on to win the young, sorry but he's a mile ahead of the other two nominees. I think if the darts fans get organised he could well win the main. He's had a huge impact on the sport and he seems a likeable lad

But is Darts a sport?

Young star - Littler again. Never heard of the other two.

Done!

Those 6 have had great years (ok, Bellingham flopped for England) but the rest have been top performers. Who would you have included instead?

 

[Captainron]

Moan

It is a complete waste of time and energy

That is all

 

[AmandaJR]

Storey
Marchand
Littler

That's how I'd vote...if I voted

 

[AmandaJR]

I'll watch it. An annual tradition for me and don't think I'd ever miss it. I love the recaps and cry at the section remembering those we lost in the previous 12 months. It's feel good TV for me.
