Bolt wins top title at Laureus

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is a repeat winner off the track. He picked up the Laureus Sportsman of the Year award for the second straight year on Tuesday. American tennis star Serena Williams won the top woman's prize at Abu Dhabi.

The seven-star Emirates Palace Hotel hosted the show billed as the "Oscars of Sport". The Laureus awards are now in their eleventh year of recognizing sporting achievement and, through their charitable foundation, promoting sports-related projects around the world. Usain Bolt's sporting effort in 2009 was judged to outpace all others.
