Bolt wins second Sportsman of the Year Award
Congrats to Usain Bolt from Yardflex on picking up yet another award for his outstanding achievements on the track.
The Jamaican track and field superstar won his second consecutive Laureus Sportsman of the Year Award.
Bolt who won three gold medals at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin Germany including world records in the 100 and 200 meters collected his award in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The outstanding Jamaican says he was not surprised at picking up the award for the second year running.
In the meantime, Bolt who ran a superb 43.58 seconds split on the anchor leg of the 4 by 400 meters relay at the recent Gibson Relays explained how he intends to move up to the flat 400 meters.
"I don't want to do the 400 until I defend both my titles in the World Championships and the Olympics because if I can defend my titles I think I can make myself a legend. Then after that if I want to do 400 to ensure that I am a legend then I would probably do it," Bolt said.
Meanwhile, American tennis player Serena Williams won the female award for second time in her career after winning the 2009 Australian Open and Wimbledon, as well as regaining the world number one ranking.
Belgian tennis player Kim Clijsters earned the award for the Comeback of the Year.
