In 2023, four-time Olympic champion Simone Biles won the Laureus World Comeback of the Year award after stepping away from gymnastics for mental health reasons following the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The 27-year-old athlete has already won the Sportswoman of the Year award three times and is now preparing to compete in the Paris Olympic Games later this year. Meanwhile, Arisa Trew made history by becoming the first female skateboarder to win the Laureus Action Sportsperson of the Year award in 2023, landing a 720 (two full rotations) in vert skateboarding at Tony Hawk Vert Alert in Utah. Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati was named the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year, while Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham won the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year award. These awards were decided by 69 sporting legends and presented in Madrid, with Usain Bolt presenting Bonmati with her award and Carlos Alcaraz handing out Bellingham’s.
