0 Comments | AFP, September, 2008
MADRID (AFP) — Spain's men's tennis world number one Rafael Nadal was awarded the Prince of Asturias prize for sport, the jury announced on Wednesday.
In a statement, the jury praised the 22-year-old for his "commitment to the most noble sports values both in and outside of the court" and his development and charity work in favour of the underprivileged.
Nadal took the crown ahead of fellow Olympic champions Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and Jamaica's 100m and 200m world record holder Usain Bolt and the Spanish national football team which won the Euro 2008 tournament.
Nadal officially became the new world number one last month, ending Swiss superstar Roger Federer's run of 237 weeks atop the ATP rankings.
