Sporties - Nominations - Favourite Sportsman/woman (Non Rugby/Cricket)

[Virgil]

Nominate your favorite Sportsman/woman from this year that wasn't from rugby or cricket.

[Virgil]

Ill kick this one off, given it was a bloody successful Olympics..

Lisa (GOAT) Carrington
Ellesse Andrews

[Machpants]

Yeah Lisa for me, so I'll nominate Liam Lawson, getting into F1, and hopefully a major team next year

[MN5]

Joseph Parker

Amazing career resurgence that made me eat my words. SUCH a nice bloke too especially for someone who punches people for a living

[sparky]

Emi Martinez.

[delicatessen]

That darts manchild

[Duluth]

Dan Hooker

In good form and chasing a title shot. Loves fighting, always good value in interviews etc

His work on the Sky UFC show is great.. gives good info in a non media trained way. Puts the rugby talking heads to shame.

@delicatessen Luke Littler.

Marie Andrejcyzk

She's hot, She's Polish, She throws the Javelin a very long way, She auctioned off her Olympic Silver Medal to save a child's life.

Emi Martinez.

Great shout!

Oleksandr Usyk for me. I've followed him since before he turned pro and in an era of boxing where fighters refuse to fight and travel away, Usyk has done the complete opposite and conquered everyone, everywhere both at cruiserweight (when it was strong) and Heavyweight. He always gets written off due to his size, but he has proven over and over again that size doesn't matter.

A lot of boxing fans don't realise/want to admit that we are watching one of the best ever fighters.

Mondo Duplantis

Biggest stage, biggest performer

Caitlin Clark

Single handedly doubled viewership

[Billy Tell]

Dunno about favourite but that Aussie Gout Gout looks like a genuine sprint star in the making. Wish his parents had chosen NZ!

[mariner4life]

Actually posting from Poland...

Can I vote for th Hammer here or is league just rugby but entertaining?

[mariner4life]

Otherwise the only strong nomination above Dame Lisa who will walk this that I can make is the evergreen Steph Curry and his Olympic night night moment
