Grassmarket 2,806 Posted December 10, 2022 #345 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Nominations for British Junior Sports Personality (ie under 18) is loaded with many juniors winning at senior level this year. 1. Sky Brown, skateboarder - XGames & Dew Tour Golds 2 Jessica Gardirova, gymnast - World & European Gold & many other medals 3. Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, diver - Commonwealth & European gold & many others. Should think Gardirova is the favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my picks really, including the indecision on the womens award. I'd personally give the womens award to Femke Bol, because I feel like her achievements and media presence this year have simply been more memorable and achieved in a far more competitive sport than speed skating, short track or women's road cycling. Though I completely understand the jury had to go for multiple Olympic gold and grand tour winners over a global silver medal and multiple European winner.

Schouten, shorttrack team, De Groot and Otter. As for the men, I'm doubting between Verstappen and Lavreysen. Verstappen's performances without a doubt have way more impact, but Lavreysen is better for the medal counter, so hard to make a choice there. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
