Laureus World Sports Awards - Wikipedia Laureus World Sports Awards Laureus World Sports Awards Cartier statuette presented to each winner Awarded for men and women from the world of sport along with their achievements from the previous calendar year Country Monaco ( 2018 ) Presented by Laureus Sport for Good Foundation Hosted by Benedict Cumberbatch ( 2018 ) Most awards Roger Federer ( 6 ) Website Official website The Laureus World Sports Awards is an annual award ceremony honouring individuals and teams from the world of sports along with sporting achievements throughout the year. It was established in 1999 by Laureus Sport for Good Foundation founding patrons Daimler and Richemont and supported by its global partners Mercedes - Benz and IWC Schaffhausen. The awards support the work of Laureus Sport for Good, which supports over 100 community projects in around 40 countries. These projects aim to use the power of sport to end violence, discrimination and disadvantage, and prove that sport has the power to change the world. The name `` Laureus '' is derived from the Greek word for laurel, considered a traditional symbol of victory in athletics. The first ceremony was held on 25 May 2000 in Monte Carlo at which Nelson Mandela gave the keynote speech. As of 2018, awards are made annually in eight categories, with a number of discretionary categories irregularly recognised. The recipient of each award is presented with a Laureus statuette, created by Cartier, at an annual ceremony held in various locations around the world. As of 2018, the ceremonies have been held in eleven cities around the world, and are broadcast in at least 160 countries. Swiss tennis player Roger Federer holds the record for the most awards with six. A number of awards have been rescinded, namely those presented to American cyclist Lance Armstrong, American sprinter Marion Jones and Canadian amputee sprinter Earle Connor, all of whom were subsequently found to have doped.

It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. Nelson Mandela, 2000 South African businessman Johann Rupert, chairman of Richemont, proposed that an organisation be created `` based on the principle that sport can bridge the gaps in society and change the way people look at the world. '' The organisation, established in 1998 by a partnership of Richemont and Daimler became known as `` Laureus '', its name being derived from the Greek word for laurel, considered a traditional symbol of victory in athletics. The first Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony was held two years later, at which the patron, Nelson Mandela, delivered a speech which Edwin Moses has described as `` iconic ''. Awards were made in seven regular categories and two discretionary categories at the inaugural ceremony, hosted by the American actors Jeff Bridges and Dylan McDermott. Two of those awards would later be rescinded : both the American cyclist Lance Armstrong and the American track athlete Marion Jones were found to have used performance - enhancing drugs and had their accolades removed. The American amputee sprinter Earle Connor 's Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability Award, which he won in 2004, was also later rescinded. The awards are considered highly prestigious and are frequently referred to as the sporting equivalent of an `` Oscar ''. Despite this, the awards have come in for some criticism, particularly in the manner in which athletes are selected for inclusion. Categories In order to determine the winners of the Awards, the Laureus Nominations Panel, composed of professional sports editors, writers and broadcasters from more than 100 countries, vote to create a shortlist of six nominations in five categories : Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Laureus World Team of the Year Laureus World Comeback of the Year Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year The nominees of two categories are chosen by specialist panels : Laureus Action Sportsperson of the Year Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability The Laureus World Sports Academy is an association of 65 retired sportspeople who volunteer their time to support the work of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. They also vote each year to decide the winners of the Laureus World Sports Awards. As of 2018, the chairman of the Academy is New Zealand former rugby player Sean Fitzpatrick. The members of the Academy select the winners by voting in a secret ballot. One category is voted for by the public : The Laureus Best Sporting Moment of the Year The Academy also makes discretionary awards, including : Lifetime Achievement Award Sport for Good Award Spirit of Sport Award Exceptional Achievement Award Sporting Inspiration Award Ceremony The Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony is held annually at various venues in various locations around the world. The inaugural ceremony took place at the Sporting Club in Monaco on 25 May 2000. As of 2018, the ceremonies have been held in eleven cities around the world, and are broadcast in at least 160 countries. Each Laureus World Sports Award winner receives a Cartier Laureus statuette which features a `` representation of the striving human form ''. The award weighs approximately 2.5 kilograms ( 5.5 lb ) ( with 670 grams ( 24 oz ) of solid silver and a 650 - gram ( 23 oz ) gold - finish base ) and is 30 centimetres ( 12 in ) tall. The ceremony has been held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on three occasions. The 2015 ceremony took place at the Shanghai Grand Theatre, China.
