It's been a decent Olympic this year. I really look forward to the Rio games

I think and want Wiggins to win - he deserves it. If Murray wins the USO then Ennis won't be on the podium! I hope this happens as Ennis is no more deserving than any other gold medallist.

Hmm, but so does Farah. I don't have anything against Ennis, and given that the award is Sports Personality of the year...she and Wiggins are probably the two most deserving candidates of that particular award.

The sour grapes of the runner-up. How unsporting. :tongue:

Indeed I did. :work:

Actually, yes. I've been to eight Olympic events and I'm off to the men's marathon tomorrow. :lol:

I just spend far too much of my time at home on here... :erm:

I believe so, yes. I'm going to miss watching Carmelo Anthony, the man is epic. His three-pointers. :coma:

Or how Kerri-Anne Payne felt in the swimming. Meh. You're leader in this one. :rant:

Yes, we still have two boxing finalists. Thirty golds are possible albeit difficult.

Original post by stefl14

Yeah. Should be at least one gold. I'm expecting Joshua to beat the Italian who is a little past his prime but still a very tough test. Hopefully 2 so we can get up to 30!

Cheers! I'm guessing no real Gold hopes tomorrow?

Just think if for some reason the judge didn't allow Tom to re-dive first time...

It's called sports personality but it's usually the best sportsperson who wins. If you look at the list of previous winners many of them are not exactly renowned for their personality. Besides, I don't understand why people think Ennis has a great personality that is better than everyone else's - she is just more well known. Mark my words - Murray will come ahead of Ennis if he wins the USO. If this happens it clearly shows that it isn't about personality as Murray doesn't have one!
