Zara Philips won the eventing world championship which is no mean feat, but hey, it's exclusively a rich man's sport and she happens to be a princess's daughter so...*claps*

Andy Murray - did OK, but we'll wait until he wins something decent eh?

Button - well quite. Mansell and Hill only got nominated when they almost won the world championship. Which is a bit more than one race.

Phil Taylor - sorry, but big fat men shouldn't win sports titles no matter how good they are at throwing pointy things into round things.

I haven't heard of the cyclist or gymnast - they're both probably excellent, but if I've not heard of 'em, a lot of people won't have heard of 'em and they won't be getting many votes.

Either of the boxers may have a chance.
