ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP)—Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt won his
second Laureus Sportsman of the Year award Wednesday and American tennis
player Serena Williams won the women’s prize for the second time.

Bolt won three gold medals at last year’s athletics world championships and
set world records in the 100 and 200-meter races. Williams won the Australian
Open and Wimbledon and regained the No. 1 ranking.

Speaking from Jamaica, where Bolt is training, the sprinter said he aims to “
keep winning, keep running and breaking records.”

“Anything is possible,” Bolt said. “I just need to keep working hard and
keep breaking records. That’s the aim for me.”

Bolt beat Roger Federer to the title for the second straight year. Federer, a
four-time Laureus winner, was also shortlisted this year after the Swiss
tennis star surpassed Pete Sampras in 2009 for the most major singles titles,
winning his sixth Wimbledon and taking his first French Open title to
complete a career Grand Slam.

The Laureus Sports Awards recognize achievements in 2009.

Belgian tennis player Kim Clijsters earned the award for the Comeback of the
Year. Clijsters won the U.S. Open last year after she was absent from tennis
for almost two years, getting married and giving birth.

Two of the winners came from Formula One.

British driver Jenson Button won the Breakthrough of the Year Award after
winning his first F1 title, and Brawn GP earned the award for the Team of the
Year after almost going out of business in the offseason.

Button said it was “a very special feeling” to win a breakthrough award at
the age of 30.

“Last year was very special in my life,” Button said. “When I started the
season I didn’t think I’d race in F1 so to clinch the trophy in the first
season was very special.”

He called the 2010 opening race in Bahrain “a brand new challenge for me
with the McLaren Mercedes team.”

“Hopefully, I can get close to holding one of these once again,” Button
said.

Three-time world surfing champion Stephanie Gilmore of Australia was named
World Action Sportsperson of the Year and swimmer Natalie du Toit of South
Africa earned the Laureus Disability award. Du Toit is one of five athletes
to have competed in the Paralympics and Olympics, after swimming in both
events at the 2008 Beijing Games.
