Sorry to bombard the forum with posts, but, someone told me that Paula Radcliffe is not in the running for this title. Have the BBC gone mad? Or, even more have the public gone mad? I have also been told that Beckham, Redgrave and Henman are final three - eh, why? What have they done this year ay?
If this is true I am thoroughly disgusted.

David Beckham:- Captains England in another mediocre world cup performance and continues to earn megabucks at a second-rate Premiership outfit somewhere in the northwest. (Oh allright, so we beat Argentina at last).
Sir Steven Redgrave:- Britains greatest Olympian who actually retired two years ago from international competition.
Tim Henman:- Erm............... Oh yeh, semi-finals of wimbledon, but never in with a chance of beating Hewitt.
Paula Radcliffe:- London Marathon, New world marathon record, European 10,000m and the most consistent achiever in British sport at present.
If the above is true, it just goes to prove that the Beeb have lost the plot (who recalls an 18 year old Michael Owen winning?)
As far as I am aware, I don't think the voting has started yet. Rest assured, when it does, Paula will have my vote!
Let's hope this can't be true.
BBC would not dare to leave Paula (we are not worthy) out of the voting.
If the voting has not yet started, I do not want to be left out. How do I do it? I'll vote a million times for her.
Take care

RW forumites should get special award for advancing the running cause !
I hadn't forgotten the curlers - I can't see them winning it though - it'll be the Ryder Cup team or a football team - yawn! Curling was too near the start of the year for a start, I doubt if many people will remember that, even though at the time it seemed to suddenly have loads of people rivetted to a sport that previously they'd laughed at (myself included).
