And the nomination's are?

The five candidates for BBC Wales' Sports Personality of the Year 2007 have been unveiled.

They list

Golfer Becky Brewerton,
Boxers Joe Calzaghe
Boxer Enzo Maccarinelli
Footballer Ryan Giggs
Cyclist Geraint Thomas

As many would predict the winner is a for gone conclussion with Joe Calzaghe beeing the front runner.

But I am really intrested who will finish second?!

Golfer Becky Brewerton has had a highly succsessfull year on the Ladies European Tour with 17 top 20 finishes this season alone! This includes wins at Golf Punk Ladies English Open and the Catalonia Masters Pro-Am for the St Asaph born golfer. Brewerton has also finished second at the Catalonia Ladies Masters and third at Northern Ireland Ladies Open.

With this she we certenly rise from the 15th place position on the European Tour Order of Merit.

Enzo Maccarinelli, the 27 year old Swansea boxer who stands at 28 wins (20 KOs) and 1 lose is no wonder the WBO cruiserweight king and regarded as one of the most exciting talents in boxing.

This year he has come into his own and has come out of the shaddow of stable-mate Joe Calzaghe with wins over Bobby Gunn (TK01) , Wayne Braithwaite (W12) and Mohamed Azzaoui (KO3). Maccarinelli has a bright future but maybe it's a few years too early for him.

Ryan Giggs OBE. What can be said for Wales's most gifted football player! He lead by example as Wales's captain and has had one of his best seasons at Manchester United last season, and is now chassing Bobby Charlton's record of most appearences at the club. He recived an OBE from the Queen this year to add to his ever growing collection of medal's and trophies.

Geraint Thomas, not many would of hered of the cyclist from Cardiff but it has been an intresting year for him. He was the youngest cyclist in the Tour De France where he finished 140th. On track he came 1rst in the UCL, Track Cycling World Championships. While in 2006 he managed two 1rst places, three 2nd places and three 3rd places. Maybe in two years time he may be his year.

My Prediction for second is

Becky Brewerton


The title will be decided by viewers' votes with the winner announced live on BBC Two Wales, 2W and BBC Radio Wales on Sunday, 2 December
