Probably because the sailor and the boxer actually won World Championships.

Agreed - they might move away from the boxing. Also, weren't McMahon's medals for underage competition?

Rhasidat Adeleke was nominated last year for double gold at the u20 Euros, she should have won it but they gave it Bazuno for stopping a penalty from Ronaldo. Pure joke, no doubt it will be the same this year.

It's a public vote these days isn't it?

So you don't get the George Hook and Ted Walsh acting the bollocks thing like when they shafted Derval but you also screw minority sport.

Adeleke definetly should have won it ahead of Bazuno last year

Adeleke moved up a level again this year - strong show at the Euros and some epic runs in the relays at the Worlds. No medals since it’s Senior but won a bunch of NCAA stuff with the Longhorns too. Probably as deserving as she was last year if not more so.

Agreed. Doing it at Senior level has to be the difference.

After that its pure subjective analysis of sport which is good craic but nothing more.

I'd take what she did at the Euros over the others all day long

as always it comes down to whether you place more value in national or international achievements. Between Andy Farrell, John Kiely and Vera Pauw I'd say
