Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has been named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for the second straight time, after continuing his amazing blitz on sprinting last year.
Bolt repeated his triple gold medal triumph of the 2008 Beijing Olympics with the sprint double and sprint relay triumph at the 2009 World Championship in Berlin, Germany.
At the World Championship he broke his 100 and 200 metres world records.
Bolt beat Swiss tennis star Roger Federer to the title for the second straight.
The 23-year-old Bolt is now the first man in history to hold the World and Olympic 100 and 200-metre titles at the same time.
American tennis ace Serena Williams was named World Sportswoman of the Year. Williams won the Australian Open and Wimbledon and regained the Number One ranking.
