No footballers, no cricketers, no rugby stars, no jockeys, no golfers and no racing drivers (unless something dramatic happens).
And least this year we have had some nobable performances from the ladies.. And if the BBC want to lick ass they may consider including Zara Phillips on their list.
The best team award will be just as hard to predict. Do they go with one of the cycling teams, rowing, tennis or yachting.
And what about the overseas sports personality?
Do they pick Bolt, Phelps or my option of David Rudisha who won the Olympic 800m in a new world record.

So no Rory McIlroy then, despite him being ranked number one golfer in the world? Andy Murray can't compete with that achievement, being ranked third in world tennis.
