I am sure most people would be leaning towards Bolt cos he has had a fantastic year but do not forget that a certain Phelps won 8 Olympic gold medals in one competition, a feat never before achieved by any man.Do not also forget that Nadal, the 22 year old Spanish tennis world number 1 has defeated roger Federer on both clay and grass this year and has won two grand slams as well as Olympic gold.he also has never lost a match on clay in his entire career. For me,its gonna be a really close call.

Anyways, my sportsman of the year is Usain Bolt, a man who won three gold medals, setting new world records in the process.

Rafael Nadal

Undoubtedly the fastest man on planet earth.

USAIN BOLT IS MAY SPORT PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR

Nadal by far! A sportsman per excellence!

well an a Rafa Nadal fan, i think the race is btw Usain bolt and Rafa Nadal

NADAL
PHELPS

WHAT DID BOLT DO?

BROKE ONE WORLD RECORD

PHELPS BROKE 7
AND NADAL WON GOLD AT THE OLYMPICS TOO

Usain Bolt broke three

My sportsman of the year is Usain Bolt.Phelps might have won a lot of gold but you cant compare the competition in Track to Swimming

100m
200m

i don't have strenght to argue today.
you are comparing someone who won 8 golds to someone who won 3.

and why do u thing running on the surface is more difficult than swimming?

the 100 metres and 200 mts are the hi lights of any olympic game, take it or leave it the winner of the 100mtres sprint is the king of the olympics

@Sam Milla
With the ease at which records are broken in swimming it is obvious it is not as tasking as Athletics.Usain Bolt's feat where greater dont look at the quantity of gold look at the quality

for crying out loud , usain bolts[b] jugged[/b] his way to a new world 100m record
that feat alone earns him my vote

If you add Michael Johnson's former record and the 4x100 relay to the mix then you would realise why he is the Sportsman of the Year

hahaha,

I think we realy need to give it to USAIN BOLT AND NADAL. PHELPS IS GREAT NO DOUBT BUT WWHO CARES ABT SWIMMING HERE.

Nadal na my Man always, I always love Bolt running, i cant pay him to be running for me everyday. No wonder MADRID CALL HIM TO IMPROVE THE PACE OF HIS PLAYERS

You see your thinking; you are not even thinking about giving room to water sports.
@post; Based on Laurels Phelps is the king.

@FEMZY

Its not like i dont wanna give way to water swimming. Presently maybe just 2% of sport fan loves water swimming, ok see the way we talk abt football, nba, athletics,, who talks abt swimming here, maybe nobody, so you see what i was saying,

SO I THINK WE SO MUCH LOVES WHAT USIAN BOLT DID THAT PHELPS, BUT NO DOUBT PHELPS IS GREAT
