Swedish pole vaulter Armand Duplantis and American gymnast Simone Biles shared the top honours on Monday at the annual Laureus World Sport Awards ceremony in Madrid.

Double Olympic champion and world record holder Duplantis was voted Sportsman of the Year at the ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the awards, while Biles was named Sportswoman of the Year.

Duplantis, 25, took the award ahead of tennis great Novak Djokovic, Formula One world champion Max Verstappen and French swimmer Leon Marchand.

"The Laureus Awards are the ultimate awards that we athletes want to win," he said.

"I know because this is the fourth time I have been nominated - and that proves it's harder to win a Laureus than an Olympic gold medal."

Police must rise to meet the moment

I have been a close observer of American policing for most of my life. During my 30-year career in law enforcement, I served as a patrol officer, detective, trainer, and from 1972 to 1993 the chief of police in Madison, Wisconsin. I've seen brutality, courage and redemption in this line of work. But I have never seen a greater police-related threat to our democracy than what we are witnessing today.
