Novak Djokovic bagged the sportsman of the year title for the record-equalling fifth time as the historic Palacio de Cibeles in the heart of Madrid hosted the Laureus Awards 2024 on Monday (April 22) night.

The Serbian tennis star is now on a record-equalling 24 Grand Slams and was in Madrid to tie another all-time record with fellow tennis great Roger Federer for most World Sportsman of the Year Awards. Djokovic had also won in 2012, 2015, 2016 and 2019.

Aitana Bonmatí, Jude Bellingham and Simone Biles were among the other big winners in Madrid tonight, as Spain was at the centre of world sport with an unrivalled collection of sport's greatest talents celebrating the 2024 Laureus World Sports Awards.

The 25th edition of Laureus World Sports Awards, which has risen to the top of the sporting calendar, was graced by some of the best athletes on the planet together with past sporting giants, plus influential figures from the world of fashion, film and entertainment.

Hosted by Hollywood star Andy Garcia, the Awards night saw the athletes take centre stage and amongst the guests presenting those statuettes were three of the biggest names in global sport.

Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, presented Djokovic with his Sportsman of the Year Award, while Usain Bolt, the greatest sprinter of all time, presented the Sportswoman of the Year Award to Bonmati.

Meanwhile, last year's winner of the Breakthrough of the Year Award, Carlos Alcaraz, handed the Laureus for that category to Bellingham. That was an 'Only at Laureus' moment as Alcaraz, a passionate Real Madrid fan, congratulated Bellingham, the current talisman of that great football club.
