Last night the Hubs and I took a wee break from all the pre-Christmas festive cheer to enjoy the spectacle that was the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2012. What a show it was! 2012 has undeniably been an truly incredible year for British sport. The efforts of Team GB at the Olympics and Paralympics as well as the amazing achievements of sporting superstars such as Wiggins, Murray and McIlroy have all come together to ensure that this year is definitely one to go down in the sporting annals.
Last night’s televisual spectacle was dedicated to remembering and celebrating those successes, and culminated in the selection of the Sports Personality of the Year by public vote. Considering all the amazing sporting achievements this year, 2012′s field of nominees was perhaps the most stellar in the award’s history with a line up that included a host of national treasures such as Chris Hoy, Jess Ennis and Mo Farah.
In the end though, there can only be one winner and this year’s victor was none other than the supremely talented Mr Bradley Wiggins. Looking unutterably cool in his dapper mod suit, Wiggo delightedly collected the award and reflected on the best year of his career so far. Not content with becoming the first British man in history to win the Tour de France, Bradley then followed this historic achievement just 10 days later by adding yet another Olympic gold to his already impressive tally.
What a fantastic way to round off an unforgettable year! Well done to Wiggo from everyone here at Party Domain. Thanks to Bradley’s iconic face fluff, we’ve done an absolutely roaring trade in Brown Sideburns this year and we’re expecting another rush after this amazing SPOTY win. These fun facial hair accessories make for great wee stocking fillers, so why not inject a little bit of Wiggins magic into your Christmas this year?!
