Who's the best sport?
Since I thought Andy Murray was a dead cert for the BBC
Sports Personality of the Year, I had not discounted Bradley ‘Wiggo’ Wiggins
who I believe will run him close, as some have questioned me. Yes,
he has become Britain’s most successful Olympian but that was not achieved
solely in the 2012 Olympics; he is also the first British man to win The Tour
de France and wore his Yellow Jersey to the Olympic Opening Ceremony. However, I feel the Tour has become much
devalued by drug cheats in the past (the recent humbling of Lance Armstrong
another hammer blow to its reputation) and it does not hold the same cachet in
Britain as tennis and the Grand Slams.
Murray became the first man ever to win Olympic Gold and the US Open,
making it doubly historic. Some might
say that Wiggo has a better ‘personality’ in general than Murray. We will see how the vote pans out.
