    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Usain Bolt, World Athlete of the Year
    "Ladies and gentlemen. Good evening. For me this is always an honour to be recognised by the IAAF and my fans and all the athletes. Male athlete of the year. Every year I come out here and I put in hard work because that is the focus and that is my determination. I want to be the best in my sport. So I focus on just doing great things. Staying focussed is always a hard thing to do. As an athlete you have to be really focussed. You have to make great goals for yourself and work towards them."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, World Athlete of the Year
    "First of all, I am really excited to be here. And, of course, to be among some of the top athletes in the world in their respective events. I think they all did wonderful and for me to be standing here on top - I am really elated."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Yelena Isinbayeva, pole vault world champion 2013
    "Thanks a lot for such an award. I call this recognisable or something like this. Thanks a lot. I am really looking forward to come back here on this stage in 2016 but like best female of the year."
