Is Federer your hero of the past 10 years? Is Briatore your ultimate villain? Thousands of readers have voted in our online ballot – and with one day left for you to join in, Matt Fearon rounds up the standings so far
Hero of the Decade
With more votes cast than in any other category, it looks as though Hero of the Decade has become the self-selecting blue riband event in our poll. And the winner so far? Surprisingly, the British contingent is flagging: neither Andrew Flintoff, nor Sir Alex Ferguson, nor Dame Kelly Holmes are setting the pace. It could yet change, but so far this award is heading overseas.
As voting stands, its destination is one of two unlikely sporting hot spots: either Switzerland, for Roger Federer, or the Philippines, for Manny Pacquiao. A surprise? Maybe, but Federer is certainly counted among the great living sportsmen, and Pacquiao is arguably the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
