Personally, I thought Darren had a point. I'll probably vote for Mo but there are others I would certainly consider, including Murray (especially if he has a good Davis Cup). There are many, many deserving candidates this year and you don't need to be a Scottish cyclist to believe that.
Although athletics is easily my favourite sport, I hugely enjoyed many other events in Rio and there were at least a couple of people who equaled Mo's feat of multiple golds in consecutive Olympics. Not to mention those who won a single gold in events which bring their own challenges, for example sustaining a long career in an endurance sport takes something pretty special.
Laura Trott became the most successful female British Olympian ever, Adam Peaty smashed the world record twice in two days and would almost certainly have two golds if the 50 metres was included, Max Whitlock did something no British man has done and did it in style - twice!, Jason Kenny joined Chris Hoy as joint holder of the record for most Olympic golds, Alistair Brownlee was the first person to defend a triathlon gold, Pete Reed and Andy Hodge won gold for the third Olympics in a row... I could go on.
Really don't know how I'm going to choose this year but it certainly won't have anything to do with anyone's race, religion, spouse, favourite pet or any other irrelevancy. ETA: And I don't appreciate anybody suggesting that it would.
