Norwegian 400-metre hurdler Warholm and Jamaican sprinter Thompson-Herah are named World Athletes of the Year
Norwegian 400m hurdler Karsten Warholm and Jamaican sprinter Elaine Thompson-Herah has been named the World Athletes of the Year.
Warholm, 25, said: "I'm so happy for this. When I first saw the time I thought it must be a mistake. It was a very intense race, I always go out hard and never know what's going on behind me." Thompson-Herah beat fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to the 100m gold in Tokyo and held off 18-year-old Namibian revelation Christine Mboma to retain her 200m title, repeating the double she had won at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
"I just take it year by year, I think I have more," she told World Athletics president Sebastian Coe on receipt of her award in Monaco.
