Bolt, Richards are athletes of the year

Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt and Jamaican-born United States 400 metres runner Sanya Richards were named athletes of the year yesterday.

Bolt, 23, wooed the crowds again this year at the world athletics championships in Berlin when he took the 100 and 200 metres individual titles in world record times and also for good measure was part of the Jamaican 4x100 metres winning team.

Those titles were added to the Olympic triple he won in Beijing last year and came off the back of him starting his season with a car accident.

"It's been an amazing season, but also a trying season," said Bolt, who broke his own world records with stunning 9.58 and 19.19 second performances at Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
