Be good to see the paralympics in the top 3 and she would get my vote over Weir...just hope its Wiggins that wins and they show Denise Lewis's face as the announce it seeing as she was banging on about Ennis winning it.Team of the yr should either be the cycling or rowing teams as they have carried Team GB for yrs and coach of the yr should be Dave Brailsford.

Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

Why shouldn't Denise Lewis be banging on about Ennis' credentials for the title of SPOTY?...
Seeing as it is somebody who has been very successful in the sport that she was very successful in herself, then its only right that Lewis should back Ennis.....Personally, I'd choose Ennis over Wiggins anyway, so I don't understand why you would get such an obviously spiteful buzz from Lewis's reaction?
And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....

Lewis was banging on about it the minute she won it and saying that there should be a female catergory.Wiggins deserves it more than Ennis IMO and yes,i dont particularly like Ennis after she didnt compete in the last commonwealth games...she cited the security crap but all other competitors competed.Wiggind won the tour de france,then went out and tried to help Cavendish win then went out and did his time-trial and got his gold...Ennis does her stuff then pulls out of the 110mtrs hurdles....sorry but Wiggins has achieved more and put his own chances aside to help another.

Pulled out of the 100m hurdles??....That would be difficult seeing as she wasn't entered in it....
She is good enough to do the hurdles individual event, but chooses not to, simple as.
I fully respect your opinion on Wiggins and appreciate he is a pretty hot favourite to win it, but, personally, I think there are more deserving winners - I suppose that's the whole point of having a vote?...

She was to be fair. She entered it in case anything went wrong in the Heptathlon but confirmed pretty early that she wouldn't run in it.
I'm not sure you can be more deserving than Wiggins to be fair - there'll be some miles in those legs! His performance this year is unmatched - what he has done has never been done before by a Brit. He then went out and smashed a world class field to win Olympic gold. All this while actually having a personality (I know that isn't a prerequisite for SPOTY by the way).
Ennis wouldn't even be in my top 3 - that's unfortunate but it's the year we've had. She'd have been a worthy winner most year.
Unfortunately, I think the bad publicity might cost Wiggo a few votes.
