In a break from tradition, there was no award ceremony in 2009 and awards were presented throughout the year ahead of key events.
Usain Bolt received the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award from Michael Johnson and Laureus World Sports Academy Chairman Edwin Moses, while Team of the Year was awarded to the China Olympic Team.
