SPOTY 2024

[MillionMilesAway]

Cavendish has already won it once.
He might be up for Lifetime Achievement award.

Littler will get the Young SPOTY instead.

Biles will get the overseas.

Coach/team are anybody's guess. Andy Farrell maybe for Coach.
South Africa RU as team.

Cavendish won one stage at Le Tour. It was historic but it's not enough to be SPOTY. Littler and Bellingham shouldn't be on the list. Alfie Hewett and Emma Finucane should have been instead. Hodgkinson should win it. One of the few at the Olympics who was touted as a potential gold medal and claimed it.

Marchand should be overseas winner not Biles. He was incredible.

Got no problem with Littler as young SPOTY.

Team...not sure - South Africa rugby is a good shout. Australian Olympic team did pretty well but not sure if that counts! England women's rugby team are up there too.

Coach - has to be Klippety for leaving the dippers in such a strong position surely.

Agreed on those who shouldn't be on the list - hence Cavendish for lifetime award, although thinking further, Nadal might get it.

As someone else said, why Littler and not Humphries?
Agree that Hogkinson should win.

Marchand - good call. If not him, Dupont wouldn't be a bad call. Just not sure they'll see that far. Nadal maybe.

Team - England WRU is a good idea. As the Rugby World Cups were last year, might be Wigan RL, assuming "Team GB" doesn't serve as a cop-out.

Coach - Emma Hayes?

Sir Gareth of Southgate.

Sir Gareth of Southgate.

Can't see him winning it for a third time!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Can't see him winning it for a third time!

I think the BBC do it on purpose to guarantee another rant thread on here!

Lifetime achievement might be Gary Lineker. :-)

Either of the two girls for me.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

It’ll be won by an Olympian, they normally are in Olympic years.

And it'll be well deserved.

And it'll be well deserved.

Her “attempting to peer over a high garden fence” mime is second to none.
