i'm hoping for

Best Male: Jeffrey Herlings, since motocross can be given more of a boost in terms of potentially more viewer interest maybe, and Jeffrey is a superstar in that sport from us

Best Female: difficult one for me, but i have to edge it for Jutta Leerdam, huge rising star in speed skating for us currently, would give her an extra boost to up her game even more

best Team: Hockey Women, that is a no brainer for me, definitely a strong powerhouse team, under star player Eva de Goede

best Coach: Alyson Annan, superb coach for our hockey women would love it to be her who wins

[Nicky91]

think this F1 title now might mean male sportsperson of the year is a shoe in for Max either
