Sky's top seven sport predictions for 2017

Sky's top seven sport predictions for 2017

The sporting world in 2016 has been full of drama and outstanding performances which I think will be bettered in 2017.

The Olympics were amazing - records were broken, global stars born and history made. One of the biggest moments in 2016 has to be Leicester City winning the English Premier League.

I mean odds of 5000/1 that was just ridiculous. So can 2017 be better than 2016, I say yes?

Here are my top 7 predictions for 2017.
Tiger Woods

to win a major. Tiger sits on 14 majors and is 4 shy of equaling Jack Nicklaus record and I think he won't equal the record certainly next year but I he will register another victory in the big four events in golf. He showed a glimpse of his old self in his comeback tournament in the Bahamas where he had been out for 15months. With no more injuries with more events under his belt, I think he is back with a bang.

2. The All Blacks to go unbeaten. After  going on a 17 match unbeaten run in 2016 and losing to Ireland in Chicago the All Blacks still look ages ahead of any nation in world rugby. There biggest game will be England at twickenham in November. Also don't forget the British & Irish travel to New Zealand in 2017.

3. Allister Coetzee to be fired. After the worst year in Springboks history, I don't see it getting better with the current coaching staff. Coetzee is 4 years too late for the Boks. He should have succeeded Jake White after 2017 but now he is not the man for the job - I see an international coach taking over.

4. Usain Bolt to bow out in style . The worlds fastest man has confirmed the IAAF World Champs will be his last event before he retires. After his  defeat in Rio, Bolt will give us a final masterclass in London come August and win the 100m, 200m, and the 4 x 100m relay.

Could I be the man of the year????🙌🏽🙌🏽 @gq #GQMOTY12016 @unlawfullady big up urself👌🏽

5. Roger Federer to win another grand slam. Federer already holds the record of most grand-slam wins with 17 and the world is waiting or should I say wanting him to win just one more. Age is not on his side but after cutting his 2016 season short to recover and be fresh for 2017, I think he will come back stronger and the hunger to win will be bigger - CMON ROGER!

Rise and grind 🎾🌴😊

6. Sunderland, Swansea and Hull to be relegated. The Premier League continues to thrill every weekend and the quality of teams is becoming better and better. The teams I've mentioned I feel don't have the firepower to cope with the league and will find it hard to survive. I do think at least five teams will battle to stay up but Sunderland, Swansea, and Hull are my picks to go down.

7. Sebastian to dominate F1. With the last couple of seasons just dominated by Mercedes with Hamilton and Rosberg, I think with the new rules coming in 2017 and cars being more equal Vettel is the man to watch. For me, he is the best driver and with the cars bigger, better it will become more of a contest and Vettel will be Lewis Hamilton's closest rival.

Now we'll have to wait and see...
