Did You Know A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 12, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that American boxer Muhammad Ali and Swiss tennis player Roger Federer have each won the BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year award three times?
Current status: Featured list

Multiple winners section

[edit]

The BBC mentioned on awarding Roger Federer the 2007 "Overseas Personality" award that he was only the second person to win it three times, along with Muhammad Ali. So naturally I wondered who else had won it twice before 2007. The information was here, under "Trivia". Since Trivia sections are discouraged I moved it into a Multiple Winners section - since in 45 years only three people have won the award more than once I reckon this is notable (and not OR; it's just a matter of counting the results already on the page). I've removed the information from the Trivia section along with the "consecutive wins" trivia as this is implicit in the dates of the multiple awards.
