At this rate, with so much success, the bookies should be taking bets and offering odds on just who will be on the shortlist, nevermind winning the award!

Ridiculous odds on Johnnie Peacock when Kadeena Cox and Sarah Storey are far more likely than him to be nominated.

It falls under triathlon. As it is an amalgamation of Swimming, Cycling and Running it is impossible to class as anything else.

If your looking on the betfair exchange it will be people sorting their books and taking a position. Lots of people greening up, locking in a profit etc etc.

Anyone but Jessica Ennis-Hill.. Motivated by sponsorship only...(believed her own press) (Ray Readon's lovechild). Golden girl of 2012 ...now relegated to a very tarnished pile of brass . She won silver but was disgusted because it will affect her earnings... bugger all interviews since..

So because she got a silver at Rio she has suddenly failed? She achieved lots in Rio considering she has had a child since London and has practically had to start again in order to get to Rio. The Silver is a huge achievement. She hasn't done many interviews since Rio as the focus is on the Gold medal winners. Think about it, there havent been many interviews for the Silver or Bronze medal winners. How many interviews has Katherine Grainger done since the games? None. Does that mean that Grainger is disgusted? No it doesnt.

More than likely people greening up, ie those who laid him at lower prices a while ago. Its also a good way to release funds which may have been tied up until December.
still if ladbrokes want to give me 3/1 on mr mo farah then I'll take that free money ![]() ![]()

She is probably concentrating on looking after her son and other matters - leaving the limelight to the gold medallists...
Anyway I've not actually heard that many interviews from any of our athletes TBH. (Don't read glossy gossip mags..) It was obvious from the post-race interview that Jess is considering retirement, and was planning to take some time off to see how she felt. There's no need for her to give interviews in this time. A lot of our athletes have now won gold, or became first time medallists, so it's nice for them to get some of the attention before sports journalists turn their focus back to football. As for Ali Brownlee, he's always been popular, but the question has been whether he'd get onto the short-list. I think people have decided he'd got a good chance this year, and therefore has a good chance of going top 5. IMO, the shortlist will be made up of people we're still talking after the event, and he's one of them. Obviously, the recent attention helps, but more than that, I think it underlines that the brothers are popular with the British public, and that they'll be welcome on any chat show sofa, and therefore will still be talked about for the rest of the year. |

On the other hand, Tom Daley is criticised for going out in public despite 'just' winning bronze.

Steve ovett
Sebastian Coe Daley Thompson Steve cram Fatima whitbread Liz colgan Lingford Christie Jonathan Edwards Paula Radcliffe Kelly Holmes All these track & field athletes share something in common apart from winning sports personality - none have won more than 2 Olympic golds and some have not won a Olympic gold medal at all !!! Now obviously there all retired from the olympics like MO is now but it seems there is a name missing from this list , a name that's doubled the achievements of every past sports personality winner you see above - I wonder who that could be ??? Sounds like a crime to me sorry I'm banging my mo drum sorry
