Arianne Titmus and Arisa Trew nominated among superstars of world sport in revered Laureus World Sport Awards

Olympic gold medallists Arianne Titmus and Arisa Trew have both been heralded for their achievements in Paris and nominated among the superstars of world sport in the revered Laureus World Sport Awards.

Their nominations come as the Laureus Academy removed *********** Open tennis winner Jannik Sinner’s nomination from the list of those vying for the World Sportsman of the Year award in the wake of his three-month doping ban.

Trew, the teenage skateboarding sensation who captured the world’s attention by taking gold at the Paris Olympics at the tender age of 14, and then entranced sports fans further with her request for a **** duck as her reward, is going for back-to-back wins in the Action Sportsperson of the Year category.

Titmus has been nominated for the Comeback of the Year award after becoming the first woman this century to defend her 400m freestyle title in Paris having recovered from surgery to remove a tumour on her ovary.

She also collected a further three medals at the Games, including gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay.

“For anyone that knows me, they’d know I’d give up anything in the world to be a mother. It’s my biggest dream, so this was a scary time for me,” Titmus said of her ordeal after winning gold in Paris.

“Being an athlete is tough. Being a woman is tough. I’ve learned more about my body and what it is capable of.”
