British heptathlete Jessica Ennis was chosen the sportswoman of 2012. She was contending with Americans Serena Williams, Lindsey Vonn, Missy Franklin and Allyson Felix, as well as Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Vonn won the award in 2011.

Former Olympian and London Games organizer Sebastian Coe won the Laureus' lifetime achievement award.

"The most honored and sincere awards that can ever be given are those by your peers," Coe said. "This is an extraordinary honor. You only have to look at the good people you are surrounded by."

The televised awards ceremony, for the first time taking place in Rio de Janeiro, was hosted by actor Morgan Freeman and actress Eva Longoria.

Brazilian swimmer Daniel de Faria Dias won the disability award. Dias, who won six individual gold medals with world-record times at the Paralympic Games in London, was up against former F1 driver Alex Zanardi, who won two hand-cycling golds. Oscar Pistorius won the disability award last year.

Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner was the winner in the action category after becoming the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound.

A 'different' looking Michael Phelps won the special Laureus Academy award as the most decorated Olympian of all time with 18 gold, two silver and two bronze medals.

Andy Murray was named the top breakthrough athlete and Felix Sanchez the main comeback athlete.
Murray won the breakthrough prize after capturing the Olympic singles gold and his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open.
Sanchez got the comeback award after winning gold in the 400 hurdles eight years after his victory in Athens in 2004.
