IIHF Moment of the Year nomination

 

 

Bedard’s 23 pts at Junior Worlds wins for me. 

[Grassmarket 4,027]

Has not been a hugely great year for individual achievement in  so our list includes a few people with lifetime achievements alongside great winners from the year. 

 

Stuart Broad - Cricketer

Frankie Dettori - Horse racing

Mary Earps - Women's Football goalkeeper

Alfie Hewitt - Wheelchair tennis

Katarina Johnson-Thompson - Heptathlon World Champion

Rory McIlroy - Golf

 

Mary Earps probably the favourite based on the numbers of viewers of her games in the Women's World Cup.

 

Sports Personality of the Year 2023 shortlist: Broad, Dettori, Earps, Hewett, Johnson-Thompson & McIlroy - BBC Sport

 

[Dragon 2,026]

Earps is a strong favourite in the betting for this.

Those would also be my picks, but I have a feeling they'll go with Verstappen again.

Now wait a sec, wait a sec ….up till now I’d always thought Camogie & hurling were the same sport, the one all sensible people call shinty. Now you’re saying they’re different?
