    Its on tonight I love it, It's been a great year of sport, who do you think will win, Bradley Wiggins for me :thumbsup: I copied these from some website.

    RUNNERS & RIDERS

    BRADLEY WIGGINS : First British winner of the Tour de France in the race’s 109-year history and 10 days later he won his fourth Olympic gold medal in the London 2012 time trial.

    MO FARAH : Crowned Britain’s hat-trick of golds in 44 minutes on Super Saturday at London 2012 by winning 10,000m before grabbing gold in the 5,000m a week later.

    ANDY MURRAY : Ended Britain’s 76-year wait for a men’s Grand Slam singles title by winning US Open after reaching the final of Wimbledon and returning to SW19 to land Olympic gold against Roger Federer.

    JESSICA ENNIS : The pin-up followed Dame Mary Peters and Denise Lewis into the pantheon of British multi-eventers by winning Olympic heptathlon gold.

    SARAH STOREY : Four London 2012 cycling golds took her past Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson as Britain’s most decorated Paralympian.

    SIR CHRIS HOY : Took his Olympic gold medal tally to six by winning two in London to surpass Steve Redgrave’s record as Britain’s greatest Olympian.

    DAVID WEIR : ‘Weirwolf’ was the leader of the pack at the Paralympics with four gold medals in the T54 wheelchair class.

    NICOLA ADAMS : First woman in history to win Olympic boxing gold when she outgunned Chinese world champ Ren Cancan at flyweight in London.

    KATHERINE GRAINGER : Won gold at the fourth attempt after being forced to settle for silver in Athens, Sydney and Beijing. Her double sculls triumph with Anna Watkins at London 2012 proved dreams can come true if you keep dream alive.

    BEN AINSLIE : The Black Death came to Britain through Weymouth 650 years ago and the nation’s appetite for sailing was almost as infectious after Big Ben’s fourth Olympic gold off the Dorset coast.

    ELLIE SIMMONDS : She is only 4ft tall but Simmonds goes like a torpedo in the pool, adding two Paralympic golds in London to her pair from Beijing.

    RORY McILROY : In any other year five titles, including the USPGA, leading the charge in the Ryder Cup and No.1 in the world would make his case irresistible – but in 2012 the competition is so tough.

    What a great list it is this year. I reckon Wiggo as well. Jess Ennis would be fine with me too - just for those abs ;)

  14. Wiggins for me, but well done to them all it's been a great year for british sport
     
  15. Allez Wiggo ;D
     
  16. Wiggins has to win it, all the other things have been done before even if they were a ling time ago like the grand slam, the Tour has never been won by a brit, and it really is a massive sport in most places apart from here.
