World Sport Star - Simone Biles
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Cookie is a good shout for life time achievement, feel its premature though, he needs to be doing coaching for a few years to say its a lifetime. Andrew Straus would have a better shout, opening batsman, test captain and chariman of selectors.That is a lifetime worth of cricket.
No one else has achieved what he hasays done, especially when you consider his back story, injuries etc.
Cook is still playing on for Essex. Would be better to wait until he's retired. If he carries on as long as Gooch or Trescothick, he has a chance at 100 first class centuries, which would be an incredible achievement in this day and age. There is also a very small chance that he could come back for next year's Ashes. I'm pretty sure he won't, but Jennings and Burns haven't set the world on fire, and there don't appear to be any other competent English openers. If they begged him to come back, then I'm only 99% certain he would refuse.
Given that Strauss is the architect of "The 100", he shouldn't be getting any awards, unless they come up with an award for stupidest idea. Make the prize a custard pie in the face, or if you want to be really cruel, an evening with Piers Morgan.
For me, the main award should be Geraint Thomas, but there is no guarantee it will be.
I am not a Guardiola City fan, and yes I will admit to being one of the people who slagged him off during the World Cup for not scoring enough and not doing enough when he doesn't have the ball.
But with the outcry over being attacked by racists, and raising the issue in general, I wouldn't put it beyond all reason for him to win it. I know he has suffered from it, and in any case racism is wrong as an absolute, and I am sure that the timing is nothing more than a reaction to the stupid fans when City played Chelsea, but the fact remains that the issue has has been raised now, whilst voting is going on.
I would rather he won it because he scored a bagful of goals in Russia, and set up another half-a-dozen, but I am not sure all of the people who vote for SPOTY do for genuinely sporting reasons, and being in the press for the racism incidents won't do him any harm whatsoever.
I don't mean for this to sound cynical, or in any way condoning what has happened to him. I abhor racism and want to see it ended, as I'm sure do all right thinking people. I just wonder if it will have an effect on the voting.
If you want my vote, I will say Harry Kane - he did win the Golden Boot in Russia.
Tyson Fury a good e/w bet. To lose 10st and perform like that is unheard of. A momentous achievement
Lester Piggott for Lifetime Achievers award, he's not been well recently, maybe Kenny Dalglish who was recently knighted
Personally I think that they should have separate men and women's top award - not that I actually care!
Geraint Thomas would be a strong 2nd place, and can't think of too many others that have really excelled on the global stage to anything like the same level as Hamilton and Thomas.
