Idowu named European Male Athlete of the Year
Phillips Idowu of Great Britain has been voted the 2009 winner of the men's European Athlete of the Year Award presented by MONDO.
The talented Briton proved his credentials outdoors throughout a fantastic year and got the better of Portuguese nemesis Nelson Évora to take the IAAF World Championships Triple Jump gold in Berlin in August with a world-leading leap and personal best of 17.73m.
Idowu will be presented with his European Athlete of the Year Award at the European Athletics Convention in Budapest on Saturday 17 October alongside the women's European Athlete of the Year winner Marta Domínguez and the European Athletics Rising Star of the Year winners.
Fans, media and European Athletics Member Federations were invited to vote for the European Athlete of the Year on the European Athletics website. Along with the votes from a panel of experts, each group of voters' results count for one quarter of the athlete's final score.
The shortlist for the award was compiled by selecting the top European athlete in each event, based largely on performances at the IAAF World Championships in Berlin.
No athlete who has previously served a two-year doping ban can be nominated for European Athlete of the Year.
