That's Sports Personality of the year sown up. Well done Rachael.
I asked the trading muppets at Betfair to add Rachael to the SPOTY market on 19 March, but they chose not to - great shame.

The question is whether she qualifies for the main award - I think she does as her major achievements have taken place in the UK even though she's not British. I'm sure they would love to have a female winner which would be the first since 2006 when Zara Phillips won.

You definitely want her in the market if she can't win it. ;)

by 1997 Rusedski had become a British citizen and was also resident in the UK so qualified on both those grounds.
