I would have voted for Tweddle, but I would not be seen voting in such low-brow, plebian affairs.
Did anybody on here actually vote?

There was no success in the international soccer/rugby/cricket arena this year (and it goes without saying that the only contenders could be English teams)

Riding the horse *is* the sport. And if there are more boxing fans in the country why didnt they vote for the boxer? I'm assuming you did actually vote.

Thank god for that. One certainly doe not want eventing to appeal to the masses does one? I am afraid Bagpuss it is down to personal prferences as to what appeals. So stop moaning, your plebby little yobs sport lost so live with it.

Originally posted by BagpussMinority team sport that no-one watches, voted for by the blue rinse brigade. Never mind the UK having two fighters rated top ten in the world, and Joe C beating supposedly the best fighter at his weight. He was robbed.
and where exactly are the hoards of people interested/taking part in boxing other than fighting in town centres on a friday night?
Just how many weights are there?

Chuck in the fact that Eventing is an inherently dangerous sport with a real risk of being killed or permanently injured - One of her friends was killed at a horse trials shortly before the World Equestrian Games - and I think she deserved it.
