Athlete of Year finalists

SPLITTING the six finalists to see who will be crowned the 2012 Tasmanian Athlete of the Year will be no mean feat when the winner is announced tonight.

The Apple Isle continues to produce world-class athletes who perform on the international stage and this year was again no exception.

Such were the achievements of the final six that last year's winner Matt Goss won't be defending his title, despite a third-place finish for the green jersey in the Tour de France.

Another Tour star, Richie Porte, will instead fly the flag for the cyclists after his gruntwork allowed Team Sky leader Bradley Wiggins to snare the yellow jersey as race winner.

Boxing world champion Daniel Geale, Olympic silver medallist Kate Hornsey (rowing), hockey duo Eddie Ockenden and Tim Deavin and Paralympic gold medal star Todd Hodgetts (shot put) are the other finalists.

Tasmanian Institute of Sport director Paul Austen said yesterday it was an impressive batch of athletes.

"We have had another highly successful year," Austen said.

"Certainly I believe when you look at those performances, Tasmania has a very strong and proud sporting heritage and great capacity to produce athletes that are world class."
