British cyclist Tom Pidcock has been named Action Sportsperson of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards.

The 25-year-old defended his Olympic mountain bike title in dramatic fashion at the 2024 Paris Games.

Pidcock suffered a puncture and had to change wheels before fighting back to win gold.

He is the fourth British cyclist to win the award after Jamie Bestwick (2014), Rachel Atherton (2017) and Beth Shriever (2022).

Meanwhile, American gymnast Simone Biles was crowned Sportswoman of the Year for a record-equalling fourth time.

After taking a break from the sport, Biles returned to win three golds and a silver at last summer’s Olympics.

Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis was named Sportsman of the Year after he broke his own world record to win Olympic gold in Paris.

He outdid himself again a month later at the Silesia Diamond League meeting – the 10th time he has broken his own world record.
