Usain Bolt has been named Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for the
second successive time at a star-studded ceremony in Abu Dhabi.
Bolt maintained his complete dominance of men's sprint events in 2009,
winning the 100 and 200 meters world titles in Berlin -- both in stunning
new world record times -- as well as helping his nation claim gold in the
4x100m relay.
His performances last August mirrored those of 2008, when Bolt announced
himself to the world when shattering world records when winning both
sprints at the Beijing Olympic Games.
