BBC Sports Personality of The Year 2013

[Gibbo]

Got to be a reasonable chance of a knighthood in the New Year?

Not sure about that .

Still think the Wiggins one wasn't quite deserved.

Got to be a reasonable chance of a knighthood in the New Year?

****ing hope not. I actually think he'd refuse. I know he's accepted a OBE but a knighthood is a whole other matter.

If he's to get one it should be at the end of his career.

Knighthoods during a career are almost demeaning.

Sir Bradley Wiggins? **** off.

[Buzzo]

I'm not saying I aprove. But I reckon he'll get one. I agree a knighthood during a career is too much, but Wiggins, Ainslie et al suggest it's the way these things are done.

I don't think Murray cares much for awards and baubles outside of Tennis.

[ChesterDave]

The more I think that dorky scoat from the scum even got on the nomination of 10 the more pissed off I am.

Dina Asher-Smith
The Blackheath and Bromley athlete won two gold medals at the European Junior Championships, taking the 200m title and then joining team-mates to win the 4x100m relay to break the UK junior record.

Unsurprisingly Dina was then selected as part of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Squad for the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, where she was the youngest athlete in the team and took part in the women's 4x100m relay.

James Guy.
Having won double gold (200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle) at the 2012 European Junior Championships, this year James made his senior international debut at the World Championships in Barcelona - coming fifth in the 400m.

In the space of 12 months the rising star of British swimming has represented Team GB at both the European Junior, the World Junior, and senior World Championships, and has now been invited to swim as a part of the European All-Stars team at the 2013 Duel in the Pool later this month.


Amber Hill (Winner)
She holds the world record for the youngest-ever winner of a senior World Cup in her discipline of skeet and finished the season ranked number one senior in Great Britain and fifth in the world.

The young gun from Berkshire won team silver at the European and World Championships and will be going for gold at next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.


Charley Hull
n August, Hull was selected to compete in the Solheim Cup. She became the youngest person ever to play in the tournament and received high praise for being part of the winning European team.

She left school aged 13 to be home schooled, and started playing in amateur tournaments before turning professional this year.

In recognition of her talent she has already received a lifetime's membership at her local golf club!


Jessica Judd
Jessica Judd made a successful start to her senior international career in 2013 - with victories at the European Team Championships in Gateshead and Diamond League in Birmingham.

She also finished second in the British Championships and World Trials in July to secure her place at the World Championships.

Jessica became the youngest athlete to represent Great Britain in the 800m at the competition and is currently top of the UK Under-20 women's 800m rankings and second in the overall list.


Amy Marren
Amy Marren starred for Great Britain at the Paralympic World Swimming Championships in Montreal in August - despite only making her international debut less than two years earlier.

She won gold in the 200m individual medley, 100m butterfly, 4x100m freestyle and 4x100m medley and silver in the 100m freestyle and 100m backstroke.

Her 200m victory came after she was disqualified in the heats but then reinstated for the final, which took place a day before her 15th birthday


Rebekah Tiler
The teenager was crowned European youth champion in the +63kg category in Lithuania in September and currently holds 28 British records up to Under-23 level.

She began her sporting career as a sprinter before switching to weightlifting, where she is now one of the youngest athletes to be funded by a governing body as she is on her sport's British World Class programme.


Isaac Towers
Wheelchair racer Isaac Towers has the 2016 Rio Olympics in his sights after being placed on the UK Sport World Class performance funding programme following his performances this year.

Among his achievements this year were victory in his age-group competition at the London mini-Marathon in April, second and third-placed finishes in the 800m and 1,500m in the Swiss National Championships a month later and winning the 400m and 800m English national titles in June.

Isaac wanted to compete at the World Championships in France but at 14 was just below the minimum age limit.


Kimberley Woods
Kimberley Woods is one of a few women slalom competitors who compete at international level in both categories of canoe slalom: woman's Canadian (C1W) and Kayak (K1W).

Having represented represented GB in the European Canoe Slalom Championships in 2012, this year she claimed C1 women's gold for Great Britain at the Canoe Slalom World Cup and defended her European Junior title.

As a result she is nominated for Young Sports Personality of the Year for the second year in a row!


Adnan Januzaj
Has scored 2 goals in 10 appearances for Manchester United.

**** THE CUNT OFF and stop insulting the amazing achievements of these kids with utterly phenomenal skills. He is not even the most suitable football candidate.

Luke Shaw was young enough to be nominated and has played 37 times for Southampton and 3 times for England under 21. How can that be less of an achievement?

It's a insult that Januzaj is anywhere near that list, an absolute ****ing insult.
