Agreed, Rossi is the greatest there is. I have huge respect for the others, but none have achieved as much while as young in such tough sports. Valé's personality and character just seal the deal really.

I ssupect Ronaldinho will win, although I would plump for any one of them!
I'd like to see Rossi or Alonso win it though. |

As a F1 fan, it's nice to have an F1 driver win it. But i feel that Rossi and Ronaldinho may be better suited to take it.

This award is for this year's achievements, right ? So going for this, it's a big fight. Federer looks like the most succesful this year.

If I had to vote, I would choose Rossi, but knowing how popular football is a sport, I think that award can be won by Ronaldinho. And apart from being Brasilian, he plays in Spain, so he is a closer opponent to Alonso.

I'm for Armstrong - It might be this years award but the past always counts!

There you can see the nominees for the other awards as well, Renault is nominated for the best team. Federer is my favourite for the award, but it's not my choice. He won it last year so that might have effect for this year's result. Rossi was dominant as usual, so was Armstrong who retired after that. I don't follow golf so much so I don't say anything about Woods. Ronaldinho might suffer because there was no big national tournament last year. |

Federer or Rossi ..
Lance . i'm not going there . but i don't think they can afford to give it to someone suspected of doping .. Ronaldinho .. it's hard to say he was the best . cause he's one of eleven .. it's those 11 that win . Women Kostelic .. it should be her . no question about it Team .. it should be Renault Newcomer .. Nadal Comeback . Lomu PS . too much golf in there for my liking

 Well i think it is well deserved and considering he has retired... The winner is .......Lance "Livestrong" Armstrong! Returns from having testicular and liver cancer, wins the Tour De France 7 times on the trot, while raising Billions of $$ fro charity!! I knows its a sports award but IMO he deserves every award he can get!! Otherwise - Federer gets it for me!! unbeaten for so long... unbelievable! |
