How on earth do you pick BBC Sports Personality of the Year? Do you go for:
The man who's eclipsed Steve Redgrave in the number of Olympic golds
or
The first British man to win the Tour de France who also went on to gold
or
Britain's most successful ever sailor
I think it will between the top two, but it's a tough call. What an amazing show!Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

I'm a bit confused by this award. By "sports personality of the year", do they mean the most likeable/successful sports person in the past 12 months, or do they mean only the most successful (ignoring their personality) ? If they are ignoring personality, why not call it "British Sportsperson Of The Year" ?30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much.
