cidercity1987 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 A) Because its a popularity contest B) He won an individual medal also C) It ticks a certain box Raducanu will win easily anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I assume Tyson Fury is having nothing to do with it again? Not that it matters, because Raducanu will walk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Josh Taylor should be there ahead of Fury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough forgot about the individual medal, BBC highlighted his nomination through the synchronised part. Other question. Who'd have dropped off the list had Hamilton won the world championship or would Lewis have not made it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 No Cav? Despite suffering for years and eventually finally overcoming a debilitating illness. He then virtually self funds himself to get back into the team he feels most at home with. Then through self belief, dedication and determination, gets back to his winning ways and equals the all time record for TDF stage wins, and takes the Green Jersey as well, but this is not on enough to be on the list. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Isn't it Sports Personality Of The Year rather than Sports Achievement Of The Year? Shouldn't it be about them as a person rather than winning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
