Clear here for the list of nominees.

This year very few of the sports pundits achieved a high degree of accuracy. Most pundits had the Patriots to win the Super Bowl and a few predicted that the Chinese Olympic team would be marred by a drugs scandal.

The winner of this category had the contenders or the finalists correct even if they failed to pick the eventual winner. Notably, he was accurate with his Olympic predictions. He had the Patriots in the Super Bowl (although they lost to the Giants). Woods, his pick in the Open, came second in the Open and Nadal was also a strong pick for the French Open.. Overall, credit goes out to him for going out on limb on a number of sports even though he sometimes fell just short of the finish line. Congratulations to Christopher Clary of the International Herald Tribune. An inscribed quaich is on its way to you now.
