Kerr wins gold, 1500 record and this is done for the year
By:

When: 02 Aug 26 11:29
Couldn't have even been called a win for the gold - it was a massacre.

In a weak year he's got what he needs for Scots to push him to win SPOTY here - the beeb even owe him it, after snubbing his previous world championship title year. He's also one of few who actually won anything this year. Doesn't need another world record, he has one already this year.

Yeah but if they strike now and go for the 1500, this is a slam dunk barring something coming out of nowhere

Can't see another in the top 20 even having a chance to do anything

His biggest dangers are both the England footie players, and if they'd won the WC, or even finaled, I probably wouldn't be backing Kerr. But they have the weaknesses of not winning enough, and being in a clear split vote situation likely. With some Scot vote practically a guarantee for Kerr, + plenty general athletics fans who will recognise his wins and record all achieved this year, I think he's already close to a slam dunk personally.

I was of course joking about 1.2 but it's hard to see her beat atm. Though 2 athletes and 2 ballers at the top is def split vote potential.

Her comments on bbc having won her 3rd Gold bigging up her team mates was perfect for spoty.

Winning a 4th gold surely seals it

Kerr probably needs to break 1500 wr, but avoiding euros might cost him a decent run at spoty.
By:

yeah 1500 record and we might get a good lay price but no way a cocky scot/yank beats a women winning 4 golds
By:

When: 16 Aug 26 22:19
As always, the only thing that matters is the price; with four months to go, who knows what yet to happen and for recency bias to exert ever less influence, gotta lay some of it

A cocky female cambridge grad living in italy. They must still be jizzzing over at bbc towers. Only lacking one thing.

It's still pretty hard to adjust to the new world of spoty now where events like european letics championships are considered important. I was AO green from laying the ballers short, so not pocket talking.

I think she likely wins it from here (no sh sherlock...) but maybe market now slightly underestimating Kerr - his fundamentals still haven't gone from him as a selection.

Amy Hunt seems an unusual sporting colossus. Hugely impressive , with a hinterland, who has battled through, against the odds. No wonder she’s favourite for the Sports Personality of the Year: a winner with a personality. Hope she doesn’t change.

In a year where there's pretty much nothing to get excited about it seems, the bbc have fallen on a narrative that will be virtually impossible to resist for them. Looking at the market, it doesn't seem like there will be any other high profile females short listed either. Last year I made it a 50% chance Mc would be their pick, Hunt I'd put it at 90%. Failed ballers, nah, Luke is just not bbc, Hunt has gazumped any other running people and others in the market are boring prior winners.

Not sure whether the hetero male vote is much use these days GB, though a few of the ladies vote that way in these current climes I suppose Mischief

World Indoor Champ, World Ultimate Champ, World Record holder, Commonwealth Champ.  Scottish, undisputed world number 1 and possibly male World Athlete of the year (to be decided later), against the fave who failed to reach the final in the World Indoors, finished 4th and 8th in the outdoors beaten out of sight, was second in the Commonwealth Games and won 2 individual golds in a very sub standard European Champs.  There is no comparison on a sporting level at all.
