So who are you voting for then?

Ben Ainsley gets our votes - won in every class he's completed in and dedicated his life to his sport, and gives a hell of a lot back into sailing. All round top bloke...

Good call..I would be tempted to say Hamilton as well, the effects of what he's achieved no doubt will benefit the sport for years to come.

Ms Adlington looked gorgeous though lick

Chris Hoy for me although Hamilton will probably win it comfortably.

Don't watch enough sport to know who deserves it most, but I find it entertaining to watch.

And if there's any justice Valentino Rossi will get international personality although it'll go to Usain Bolt I think.

yes
the title says it all - "Personality"
unfortunately, non of the Olympians have had a lot of coverage in the year (other than immediately after their achievements), so we don'y know if they have a personality.
Lewis Hamilton has been pushed on telly every other week for the whole year, either on ITV F1 programme or adverts. In fact so much so, we know his bloody family !

I' sorry to say that Lewis will win it, but only through publicity and 'product placement'

Chris Hoy for me too but I think the result is all too predictable.

Yes, but for me it means the start of Christmas, so I always watch it!

I think Rebecca Adlington will do well tonight, not sure she'll win it though.

I personally want Nicole Cooke to win because we looked after her medical care prior to the Olympics, and she did us proud!

Mods I know this is Sports related, but wouldn't it be more relevant in P&P?

It's a bit tough in an Olympic year if you're successful but not a multi-gold Olympian. I'd like it to be Lewis Hamilton but think it will be Chris Hoy.
