Olympic gold medalists and Paul is one of only 3 Irish people to have medals at 2 Olympics.
Paul has had huge effect on his sport and dramatically raised the profile of rowing.
Where’s Donnarumma?
I don’t remember Ellen Keane placing anywhere. Great athlete but still a bit shocking
Congratulations to them!
Stupid not including a gold medal winner.
Not to single her out but Wall seems very much odd person out.
George Orwell’s nightmare
Not even my neighbour Denise O Sullivan who’s had an absolutely stellar year. Best of luck to who wins, these lists can be very subjective.
By omitting Paul O’Donovan in favour of some bogballer, who wouldn’t be recognised walking down any street outside of her parish, this award lost all of its prestige.
