Well the contenders have been announced and are as follows:
Tom Daley
Tyson Fury
Adam Peaty
Emma Radacanu
Raheem Sterling
Sarah Storey
I'm not sure why Tom Daley is nominated as surely he is part of two people in the synchronised diving, this is much of a muchness tho as Raducanu will win it by a landslide.

I am not sure she should win by a landslide but I suspect she will.
Adam Peatty is ridiculously underrated by the general sporting public.
Of course if it was purely on personality Fury would win.

He certainly has the
most personality; think it's quite a long way from being the best one. If it's on sporting achievement, then I'd agree with you on Peatty.

The fact Daley is on there for in essence a team gold (while his partner isn't) and Sterling for scoring a couple of goals is there but Mark Cavendish isn't on there is bizarre if based only on sporting merit.
Cavendish at 400 years old and being written off by everyone won 4 TdF stages and the Green jersey on top of other stage wins throughout the year is way ahead of what they achieved.
Josh Taylor, either of the Kennys could easily have made the list.

In fact Duncan Scott is also more deserving of a place than Tom Daley.

She's 20-1 on mate, the Brits love a Tennis champion.
