Moon of Liberty Random year end awards Part 1
There are no set categories for this, it's time for a random set of year end awards, covering anything I like really.
Non UK Sporting hero of the year - Usain Bolt (simply amazing sprinting in the olympics major events)
UK Spoting hero of the year - Rebecca Adlington (Two gold medals in the pool with nowhere near the support some of the other sports the UK did well in had)
Pleasant sporting suprise of the year - Chris Hoy winning the Sports Personality award - I really though Lewis Hamilton had won it, he will win it, but right it went to an olympian in olympic year)
Unsung sporting hero of the year - Victoria Pendleton - always seems to get overlooked due to the exploits of other cyclists, but consistantly the worlds best cycling female sprinter
The BBC red button award - Olympic sailing - The interactive red button system meant many sports you never usually see could be watched during the olympics, The coverage of the sailing was a pleasure to watch, espcially with the explois of Ben Ainslie, Sarah Ayton, Sarah Webb, Pippa Wilson and Zac Purchase bringing home golds to boot.
Best olympic medal won that wasn't gold - Bryony Shaw - An unexpected bronze in the windsufing, and a reaction that showed it meant everything, look out for her in 2012.
Most exciting sporting moment - The last lap of the Brazilian GP - An incredible last lap when Lewis Hamilton won it, lost it, then won it again.
Sporting howler of the year - John Terry - Slipping over and missing in the Penalty Shoot out in the European Cup Final, handing Man United the win.
Biggest Sporting dissappointment - Shanaeze Reed - Red hot favourite for the olympic BMX gold, crashed on the final corner.
