Elaine Thompson-Herah of Jamaica was named the World Athletics Female Athlete of the Year in a virtual awards ceremony.
The triple Olympic gold medalist is Jamaica’s third recipient of the award, following Merlene Ottey and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
This was the sprinter’s third nomination for the prestigious award.
Thompson-Herah won the women’s title ahead of Sifan Hassan (Netherlands, 5000m/10,000m), Faith Kipyegon (Kenya, 1500m), Sydney McLaughlin (USA, 400m hurdles), and Yulimar Rojas (Mexico, 400m hurdles) (Venezuela, triple jump).
