Emma Raducanu, Sky Brown and Bethany Shriever win at Laureus Sports Awards

Sky Brown, Emma Raducanu and Beth Shriever have all won at the 2022 Laureus World Sports Awards.

Tennis player Emma Raducanu, a shock US Open winner last year, picked up the Breakthrough of the Year award.

While skateboarder Sky Brown, who suffered a serious injury in 2020 before taking bronze at the Tokyo Olympics aged 13, was given Comeback of the Year award.

Bethany Shriever, who won gold at last year's Tokyo Olympics, won the Action Sportsperson award.

Sky Brown was seriously injured when she fell from the top of a skating ramp after a trick went wrong.

She went on to become Great Britain's youngest Olympic medal winner of all time by finishing third in the park skateboarding final in Tokyo.

"This is insane," she said, after getting her award.

"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."
