Beth Tweddle ( Gymnastics ) 50/1
Chris Hoy ( Cycling ) 66/1
Bradley Wiggins ( Cycling ) 66/1 - Wiggins and Hoy are Part of a world class GB cycling team at the moment. Blitzed the recent championships in Manchester and Majorca (or was it Mallorca?). Only problem may be lack of press attention....
Wouldnt mind having a look at those on
betfair when I get the chance and seeing their odds with them.
We have a lack of truly world class sportsmen and the ones we do have dont have a showcase event to propel themselves into the limelight. Doesnt matter how good Rooney is (allegedly) - he is never going to win Sports Personality unless England do well.
Anyone know much about our athletes? They're the ones that interest me. I might start having to watch Grandstand from now on and do a bit of revision.
I wouldnt mind a pop on Andy Murray but at 5/2 - no thanks. I would rather stick it on an athlete at 100/1 say and lay off after they have a storming World Championships.
