Roger Federer finished third in the Switzerland’s Sports Personality of the Year poll behind the Olympic ski jump champion Simon Armann and wrestler Kilian Wenger. The voting is split between the Swiss media and fans. Last year, Federer finished behind downhill skier Didier Cuche.
"The other guy won two Olympic golds in ski jumping. That's probably going to do the trick for him," Federer said last month. "Look, all I can try is to have a good season myself. One thing for sure, the Swiss are not going to vote me 10 times in a row."—Matthew Cronin
