Hunch. Kane came to London in person for the Ballon d'Or on 26 October and said that winning it there made it 'extra special'.
The attendance market resolves on the same BBC Sport report: YES if it says Kane was at the show in person, NO if he took part by video link, by recording or not at all, and void if he is not on the final list. If the BBC page does not open, Guardian and Sky Sports reports of the same night settle it together.
We looked for cases where a British sports star won the top world prize of their sport and stood in the BBC vote of the same year. We counted from 2006, when a panel began to pick the final list, and used six world prizes, from football’s Ballon d’Or to cycling’s Vélo d’Or. We found four such years, from 2012 to 2017. Chris Froome, a cyclist, stood in two of them.
