Usain Bolt has been named the IAAF World Athlete of the Year.
The Jamaican had an incredible season which saw him become the first man in Olympic history to break world records in all three events at a single Games.
The 22-year-old had broken the 100 metres world record of 9.74 seconds held by compatriot Asafa Powell earlier in the season but he again eclipsed the new mark by clocking 9.69secs in Beijing.
Bolt then broke Michael Johnson's world record of 19.32 in the final of the 200m by lowering it to 19.30.
Bolt then led Jamaica's 4x100m sprint relay to Olympic victory in a record time of 37.10.
The women's award was won by pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva.
The Russian broke her own world record both indoors and outdoors, her effort of 5.05m at the Olympics becoming the 24th time she set a new mark.
Cuban 110m hurdler Dayron Robles has been voted the male performance of the year after setting a new world record of 12.87 as well as claiming the Olympic title.
Double Olympic champion Tirunesh Dibaba, of Ethiopia, and Barbora Spotakova, of the Czech Republic, who set a new world record after claiming the Olympic title, have been awarded the women's equivalent.
Pamela Jelimo, who won the 800m Olympic title at the age of 18, was given the revelation of the year award.
