Schumacher wins second world sportsman of year title

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER, the unchallenged master of motor sport, has been named Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for the second time.

For the Ferrari driver, who also won in 2002, it was his fourth nomination in five years and acknowledges his total domination of Formula One.

There was an enthusiastic reception at the Awards Ceremony at the Centro Cultural de Belem on the Lisbon coast for 14-year-old American golfer Michelle Wie, who was named World Newcomer of the Year.
