US Open champion Emma Raducanu, skateboard star Sky Brown and BMX racer Bethany Shriever were all winners at this year's Laureus World Sports Awards as Max Verstappen and Elaine Thompson-Herah scooped the main prizes.
The awards recognise the greatest sporting achievements of 2021 and Raducanu's memorable US Open win earned her the Breakthrough of the Year Award.
Brown's bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics saw her pick up the Comeback of the Year Award.
Shriever ended 2021 as Olympic and World Champion and that was enough to see her take the Action Sportsperson of the Year Award.
"It's been a great year for me. Thank you to all the Laureus Academy Members for voting for me. I really want to congratulate all the other Nominees too," said 19-year-old Raducanu, whose incredible victory at Flushing Meadows saw her become the first qualifier in tennis history to win a Grand Slam.
Skateboard star Brown called winning her award "insane" having made a sensational return to her sport following a life-threatening injury.
Brown suffered a skull fracture when she landed head first from a half-pipe in training in June 2020.
She recovered fully and was able to compete in the Tokyo Olympics where aged 13 years and 28 days, she finished third in the park final to win a bronze medal, making her Britain's youngest-ever Olympic medallist.
"I had some ups and downs, falling, having a pretty bad accident and getting back up. I feel like the falling just pushed me [to succeed]. I'm so thankful for everything," said Brown.
