Rebecca Adlington
Ben Ainslie
Joe Calzaghe
Nicole Cooke
Lewis Hamilton
Chris Hoy
Andy Murray
Christine Ohuruogu
Rebecca Romero
Bradley Wiggins
I was truly inspired by the Olympics and could vote for each/any of those; Andy Murray has kept me entertained and listening to Five Live at odd times of the day and night (Remember Nadal?!) and has been successful this year. Lewis Hamilton - well you know I've been a huge fan all season. He for me has made F1 exciting again.
In terms of a personality ... mm each time I see the athletes in a non sporting environment I feel disappointed - yet their Radio interviews have made me warm to them, Rebecca Romero esp. SO who does my vote go too... I really can't say! In terms of commitment it needs to go to an Olympian - the 4 year thing, the individual thing etc etc. Chris and his 3 gold? Rebecca and her 1 to make it 2 in differing events? Rebecca and her 2 totally unexpected and record breaking golds? Nicole for getting us started? Bradley for being a team stalwart? Christine for being SO relaxed in her victory?
Mmm. Help?! Thoughts?

Okay I confess. I voted for Lewis.
BUT congratulations are well and truly due to Chris Hoy! And the cycling team in general...
I voted for Bradley cos he's a mod!
He did seem quite belligerent when asked what it all meant to him!! I found that amusing... bred to win - and they did.. unlike the Eng cricket or footie team huh!
