Berlin: British F1 ace Lewis Hamilton and Lionel Messi, arguably the world’s greatest footballer, were today declared the joint winners of the prestigious Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award. They received the same number of votes, a first in the 20-year history of the awards with the jury unable to split Hamilton and Messi. Messi, the six-time FIFA World Player of the year, is the first team-player to bag the award. They pipped golfing great Tiger Woods, Kenyan marathoner Eliud Kipchoge, tennis legend Rafael Nadal and MotoGP champion Marc Marquez. American gymnast Simone Biles grabbed the World Sportswoman of the Year award, her third in four years. AFP
