Please tell me you'd been drinking when you posted that.

Ha! I was just fishing!

Defiantly Wiggo, unlike the others he achieved something no Britain has ever achieved - Unique

Virtually every person on the shortlist has achieved something that no other Brit ever has.

I would give it to all 12 and let them have the trophy for a month each.

 

[Shirty]

Ive gone for Wiggo, purely for being the first Brit to win the TDF ever. There are PLENTY of worthy winners on the list though.

Wiggins for me......but I think he will not win it as he seems to be antiestablishment.

Sorry to show my ignorance but I only know David Weir the ex-Everton footballer who was still playing till he was 40.

Who is the other one in this poll?

did you not watch the Oympics? or are you joking?

Wiggins has won the pinnacle in his sport (TDF), plus 3 of the most prestigious stage races in cycling (Dauphiné, Paris-Nice and Romandy) and an olympic gold medal in the same year and he has a personality. There is no contest. Mo Farrah is also a hero of mine but he hasn't got the same possibilities in his sport to equal what Wiggo has accomplished.

This. Although I'm not sure how much 'personality' *actually* comes into it.

I think if Wiggins had just won the TDF, it would have been more of an even contest, but the fact he followed it up with a win at the games makes it almost a foregone conclusion.

Like you, I love Mo too and am in awe of his achievements –*Jess Ennis too – but all I can see is a Wiggo win.

I don't do joking...

Sadly, the Paralympics had hardly any airtime here in Austria. Anything that was shown had an Austrian doing well in it.

So, I genuinely had no idea who David Weir is.
