Back on topic, and not wasting my time with such pathetic behaviour.

Top 3 revealed as heather, jodie williams and daley.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tv_and_radio/sports_personality_of_the_year/8374502.stm

All three would deserve it, but if they have clearly decided that daley shouldnt be held back by his previous win, then i would give it to him then. He done the biz at senior level where as heather and jodie were at junior.

ps. As an athletics fan, Jodie really is something special. Shes run 11.37 as a 15 year old. I just hope she doesnt go down the mark lewis francis route of so much potential but never delivering.

Interesting one.

Tom clearly has done it at senior level, and on his own performances is in many ways ( even though now older ) even more deseving now than he was when he won it.

Heather and Jodie may have their main achievements at junior level but they are doing them in more mainstream high participative sports. 

Heather's was a great achievement this year ( and of course it would be nice to strike one for tennis smile  )  but Jodie seems phenomenally talented for a 15 yo ( that is some time ! ) 

I think I would go for Jodie this year.

So, Tom Daley won the Young SPOTY for the 2nd time, which I guess really does make sense considering winning the world title at that age was so much more of an achievement than he had managed before, and he was 6th in the main vote itself.

Guess I just hadn't expected them to be so un-British as to not share it around  smile

Well i don't think Daley should have been in it really. Once you win this you shouldn't be eligible again.

Thought i do tink Daley should have been top 3 in the main vote. Ryan Giggs? I mean come on. I'm welsh but a footballer winning SPotY should be long gone.
