Usain Bolt has been named male World Athlete of the Year for a fifth time. The 27-year-old Jamaican, who also won last year, clinched 100m, 200m and 100m relay gold in the World Championships in Moscow in August.

Bolt, who beat Britain’s double world champion from Moscow Mo Farah to the award, became the most successful athlete in the history of the World Championships this year with his eighth gold and 10th medal in total.
At the awards ceremony in Monaco, he said his 2014 target was to beat his 200m world record of 19.19 seconds.
“That has always been my dream; that has always been my aim,” he said. “This season will be the season when I will be going for world records because there are no major [outdoor] championships.
