Can't fault AP getting the title. Champion jockey, master at his sport.

and as much as I loathe him well done to Beckham for life time achievement

This is normally given to people for what they have achieved in their lifetime, like Bobby Charlton, Alex Ferguson, Bobby Robson, Kenny Dalglish (and that's just football). What has David Beckham achieved to compare with them?

well done to Beckham for life time achievement

If he accepts it, does he have to die?

Judging by Google Images, that's her best angle.

How about poker? Or Bridge?

Neither requires co-ordination.

Or squirrel hunting?

Done competitively, with a consistent playing field for each hunter, would surely be a sport.

It is a competitive game of physical ability. It requires co-ordination and consistent skill.

Darts is not a sport.

In what way is it any less of a sport than the javelin?

Is that it?

How many of those names can you place against their events even? I managed five although one of those was for someone who plays a pub game not a sport.

I called Ryan Giggs correctly last year. I'm not so confident about this one. I think the racing fraternity might back their boy this year so I'm going for Tony McCoy.

I'm getting good at this.

Phil 'The Power' Taylor 2nd? What a joke. Darts is not a sport.

Amy Williams won a gold medal at the winter olympics.

She is also quite gorgeous.
