Chris Hoy

The man proved himself to be a hero of track cycling this year by winning 2 World Championships and 3 Olympic Gold medals, he also won Gold at the Olympics 4 years ago and then found that his event then had been discontinued.

On top of all that he is a native of my homeland of Scotland and is a pretty unassuming kind of dude; last night he won the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year competition voted by the British public.

In his acceptance speech he seemed to be a tad surprised at winning, which was justified considering that the bookies had a 19 year old swimmer and double Olympic Gold medal winner (& Jimmy Choo product addict) or the youngest F1 champion as hot favourites.

Could not find any footage of his Olympic wins but here is some footage of him winning the World Championship sprint final.
