Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Mondo Duplantis have been named World Athletics Athletes of the Year (Women & Men) after world record-breaking performances in 2022.
McLaughlin-Levrone, who lowered her 400m hurdles world record twice this year, won the women’s award ahead of Nigeria’s Tobiloba Amusan who many had hoped will win the top accolade.
McLaughlin-Levrone is the first American to win Athlete of the Year since fellow 400m hurdler Dalilah Muhammad in 2019
