It’s a shame that Zara isn’t going to make it this year as I’m from the UK and a big fan of Zara Phillips, did you know she claimed a third of the public vote when she won the 2006 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. A deserved triumph for someone who has worked so hard to reach the top of her sport, I wish her well.
