2009 marked the fourth year in the last five thatS anya Richards has ap- peared in the Top 10 of AOY voting. No. 9 in her debut in ’05, she then won in ’06 before slipping to No. 8 in ’07 before falling off the charts completely in the Olympic year. But she came back with a vengeance in ’09, moving all the way to the top in an interesting campaign which saw no fewer than five women earn No. 1 votes.
