MONACO, CMC – Sprint superstar Usain Bolt captured the men’s IAAF World Athlete-of-the-Year award for a record sixth time here Friday, as he was rewarded for his outstanding exploits at the summer Olympics in Rio. Bolt said the outing in Rio had been a memorable one and hailed his fans who had made the outing special. “I live for the moments when I walk into a stadium and I hear a loud roar and Rio was outstanding,” the Jamaican said. Bolt won the IAAF award for the first time in 2008 and again in 2009 before picking up a hat-trick of successes between 2011 and 2013. She won the Olympic 10 000 metres in a world record 29 minutes, 17.45 seconds.
