Sports Personality of the Year Nominations

The BBC have just announced the nominations for BBC Sports Personality of the Year and… no nomination for Chrissie Wellington. What a disappointment.

The nominations are:

  • Andrew Strauss (Cricket)
  • David Haye (Boxer)
  • Andy Murray (Tennis)
  • Tom Daley (Diving)
  • Jessica Ennis (heptathlete)
  • Ryan Giggs (footballer)
  • Jenson Button (Motor racing)
  • Beth Tweddle (gymnastics)
  • Mark Cavendish (cyclist)
  • Philips Idowu (triple jumper)

So what does someone who has won every Ironman she’s ever entered and broke the Kona course record got to do to get a nomination. Obviously win a few low ranking tennis tournaments for a start; or win a single gold medal at the World Athletics Championships.

I’m not impressed.
