How many times did she just say 'y'know'? 🙂
Bet you wouldn't say it to her face.

I think she's a refreshing change - far more eloquent than a lot of other boxers irrespective of gender.
Boxer's not the brightest tool in the box shocker... 🙄
She's a star and no doubt.
She's a good 'un but it was funny - literally every 3 or 4 seconds she'd, y'know, say it.
She was just nervous. Can't think why stood up in front of all those people at the SPOTY. If that's the worst criticism anyone can level at her, then, you know, I think she did alright....
Seems like a real star to me....

Are you perfectly eloquent at public speaking? Or just brilliant at everything? Bet you can't Box like she can.
Stop haveing a pop for the sake of it, nobody's perfect, not you, nor me.
Well, consider the Daily Mail today. A friend sent me a link that talked about SPOTY but analysing the ladies attire. Not a single mention of blokes in suits but basically saying they all looked butch and athletes need to be careful about dresses at awards shows, except for Nicola Adams who was too masculine in a suit rather than a dress.
When I saw the link I should have known better than to read it.

I stopped reading your post right there.
And?
It's not her job to make speeches, she punches people's lights out for a living. I bet if she wanted to become a public speaker, she'd put a load of dedication into it, work with the best coaches she could find, and she'd be awesome at that too.
She's awesome, full stop.
Kryton - get out of bed on the wrong side did we?
It was an observation, not a criticism.
How many times did she just say 'y'know'?
I know! it was hilarious! I bet you wouldn't be so verbally clumsy, if you had won a Olympic gold medal, for boxing and then got short listed for SPOTY. You would be far more eloquent wouldn't you? Let's wait and see shall we?

Isn't she am amateur?
A quaint and endearing northern affectation, what's not to like?
Maybe a tad rascal, I had 2 pints of beer last night after a 3 month abstainance, I'm weirdly hungover.... :-/
she's not a pro - in fact i think she turned it down so she could go the Rio - but you don't get to be the best female boxer in the world without making it your living.
i don't know if she has a 'real' job or whether she gets by on lottery funding or whatever.
She's great, I'm a fan.[img]

As said above what's not to like?
She got my vote.
I suppose Wiggins DOES have a personality, but did anybody else find him vaguely smug and patronising?
[i]she's not a pro - in fact i think she turned it down so she could go the Rio[/i]
Yep, boxing - the ONLY sport where pros can't compete in the Olympics.

Nope, but if he is, he's earned it.
How truly lovely is Ellie Simmonds? I wanted Wiggins to win but I was torn between him and Ellie.
I've yet to see Wiggo's early speech but I thought his acceptance was anything but smug/patronising. He mentioned the Sweeney and Only Fools, and the free bar FFS!
He mentioned the Sweeney and Only Fools,
Yes, but suspiciously steered clear of Steptoe and Son

I get like that when I've had a few. 🙂
