Wow! Fair play to Geraint! The ultimate athlete for me amongst a great group but I personally hoped Jimmy would win!

Great to see the netball team get the win!!! My daughter is a player and stuff like this only serves to fuel her fire to win. Go girls!

Yeah 2 awards is a great thing, well done to them all.

From what I have watched I'd have voted for Alister Cook but then again milking it for 5 days was quite good 😉

Great humility from the young lad in Motorsport getting the last bit of the speech out 🙂

I dunno - what depresses anybody about SPOTY? What exactly is one expecting that leaves one feeling so down about it?

The footballer and the motorsportster didn’t win. Surely not bad in a football obsessed country and we all know that driving a fast car isn’t a sport anyway so why feel so let down?

"Sports personality? If they had a personality they would not need to do sports"

Edit.

Nice one G. We don't get it here in Canada so I can't comment on the program as a whole or the other nominees/winner.

Billy Monger was natural and positive, as he always is, despite injuries that would have me sat in the bath sobbing.

He looks a cherub, but he's got tough all the way through him.

Well that was a relief, I had a horrible feeling that Mo Farrah, who is a gooner, was going to have to give a trophy to Harry Kane.

'Personality'? I think people are missing that really it's just a semantic way round calling it 'Sports Person of the Year' which sounds dull. And which in turn is because you can't call it 'sportsman or sportswoman of the year'. Anyway, let's face it, if the competition were really about 'personality', their actual achievements would be irrelevant.

And why should we expect people who happen to be very good at sport to have a personality anyway, other than being relentlessly competitive? But then as above, it's semantics, not an invitation to an existential debate over whether Harry Kane is made of plywood.

Geraint is a true winner.
Not just a true athlete, proper sportsman and all round good egg, he also has an actual personality.
