Winning the F1 title in only your second season surely is worthy enough for a winner?
Over winning 3 gold medals in one Olympics (not been done for years by a Brit) and making it 5 golds in total? I'd have thought not. |

I did a massive reply to that message and it's disappeared! Youngest ever F1 champion too if he does it. All of Scotland will vote for Hoy. He'd be a great winner too in my opinion. |

As per usual I won't watch it and will probably forget to find out who won it.
Harrington would be allowed to win it, you don't have to be a Brit.
Don't they do an overseas one? |

Yes they do. But I still think you can be in the main one even if you're foreign. |

Padraig isn't on Corals' list for the main prize so I can only assume he is only up for the Overseas prize?

I'm pretty sure non-Britons can't be considered for the main prize. Greg Rusedski was considered British when he won it... Yes, Greg Rusedski won it! |

Hoy for me... he's been a bit good for years. Plus i would pick Rebecca Romero over Addlington, as i'm pretty sure she has 2 Olympic medals in 2 different sports, or something daft.

meh. no-one gives a fuck about 95% of the sports at the olmypics apart from a 1 month period every 4 years. if Hamilton wins the title the award should be his. |

Don: You are correct.
Any sport they relies on Technology or requires a judgement (ice skating, diving etc etc) is shite!
I was glad they didnt let that bloke with bionic legs run - would of opened up a can of worms.

You could say the same of any sport really, put Messi in a pair of 1920's boots and I'm sure he'll look significantly less fleet footed. Give any modern athlete a 1950's training regime and they'd be shit And Darts isnt a sport its a pub game. |
