Usain Bolt on Rafael Nadal "Laures Sportsman of The Year" Awards
>> February 08, 2011
Renowned tennis player, Rafael Nadal added his second awards of "Lauraes Sportsman of the Year" yesterday in a ceremony held in Abu Dhabi. For the record, he has been honoured the award for the first time in 2006.
The 24-year-old who won the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open titles in 2010 beat out the Filipino boxer Manny Pacquaio, NBA’s Kobe Bryant, footballer Lionel Messi and others.
Usain Bolt (I'm not gonna waste my time to introduce who the man is!), gives a credit to Nadal but announces a warning to get the same award next year.
Well, it's not arrogant!, it's a sort of encouragement for fans to book the World Championship's tickets and witnesses Usain Bolt smashing the World records. Below is Bolt's 'official announcement' on the facebook:
