Idowu Wins BAWA Award

Phillips named Athlete of the Year at the British Athletics Writers' Association's 47th Annual Awards Dinner on Saturday night

The plaudits continue to pour in for the World Triple Jump champion as he was rewarded with yet another award for his Gold medal winning jump in Berlin. Idowu won the male athlete of the year trophy for the second year in a row, the first man to do so since fellow triple jumper Jonathan Edwards in 2000 and 2001;

"I jumped well in 2009 and it was great to get one over on Nelson [Evora]. Now we've got a bigger party coming up in 2012 and I'm looking forward to that."

As his comment suggests, it is clear that he is already putting 2009 behind him and focussing on 2010 and beyond. From all at MTC, congratulations on another fantastic achievement and best of luck for the year ahead!
