第25屆勞倫斯世界體育獎頒獎典禮上，世界頂尖運動員榮耀加冕，拜爾斯、杜普蘭迪斯、皇家馬德里和也馬等榮獲殊榮

• 世界最具聲望的體育獎項在馬德里彙聚全球體壇巨星，吸引數百萬全球觀眾關注
• 奧運體操超級明星拜爾斯與安迪蕾德同台——拜爾斯第四次榮膺年度最佳女運動員獎，追平歷史紀錄，安迪蕾德獲年度最佳復出獎
• 杜普蘭迪斯憑藉第二枚奧運會撐桿跳金牌和多個世界紀錄榮膺年度最佳男運動員獎
• 皇家馬德里因歐冠與西甲「雙冠王」佳績榮膺年度最佳團隊獎
• 巴塞隆拿天才少年也馬因率領西班牙贏得2024年歐洲杯，獲得勞倫斯年度最佳突破獎
• 山地自行車選手皮迪確克榮獲勞倫斯年度最佳極限運動員獎
• 所有獎項由勞倫斯世界體育學院69位傳奇冠軍成員投票選出，紀念勞倫斯世界體育獎設立25周年

 

馬德里，2025年4月21日 —— 今晚，馬德里成為全球體育的焦點之城，第25屆勞倫斯世界體育獎在此盛大舉行，不僅彙聚了過去12個月最出色的運動員，更齊聚了21世紀最偉大的體壇傳奇人物，共同慶祝勞倫斯的輝煌里程碑。

來自體操界的好友、對手、奧運冠軍拜爾斯 (Simone Biles) 與安迪蕾德 (Rebeca Andrade)雙雙獲獎; 西班牙足壇雙雄皇家馬德里與巴塞隆拿也同時登上領獎台：皇家馬德里斬獲榮譽，巴塞天才少年也馬亦受表彰; 而包括杜普蘭迪斯 (Mondo Duplantis) 、皮迪確克 (Tom Pidcock)和蔣裕燕在內的奧運與殘奧英雄也將勞倫斯獎項收入囊中。 此外，來自萊索托、致力於社會變革的足球專案 Kick4Life，也作為2025年勞倫斯體育公益獎獲得者與世界體壇巨星們並肩站在領獎臺上。

25年前，首屆勞倫斯世界體育獎在摩納哥舉行; 25年後，這一體壇盛典不僅見證了勞倫斯的輝煌歷史，也慶祝了其作為獨特體育運動平臺的發展歷程——涵蓋世界知名的獎項評選，以及勞倫斯體育公益基金在全球40多個國家全年不間斷的社會影響力工作。

頒獎典禮引發全球媒體熱潮高度重視，掀起媒體報導與直播浪潮，來自世界各地的運動員、媒體人與博主紛紛對獲獎者表示祝賀。 每位獲獎者都由勞倫斯世界體育學院69位體育傳奇投票選出，他們不僅收穫了全球運動員最為珍視的至高獎項，還捧得象徵榮譽的「勞倫斯獎盃」。

此外，勞倫斯學院今年還特別頒發了兩座額外獎杯，分別授予網壇大滿貫22冠得主拿度 (Rafael Nadal) ，以及11次衝浪世界冠軍得主史雷特 (Kelly Slater)，以表彰他們在體育歷史上的非凡成就。

奧運會與殘奧會無疑是2024年體育年的核心——而今年的勞倫斯獲獎名單中，也不乏那些在奧運賽場摘金奪冠、如今又將勞倫斯獎盃收入囊中的頂級運動員。

被譽為史上最偉大撐桿跳高運動員的杜普蘭迪斯終於迎來屬於他的時刻——在連續三年獲得提名後，第四次終於圓夢，榮膺「勞倫斯年度最佳男運動員獎」。 他也成為繼四屆勞倫斯獎得主保特 (Usain Bolt) 之後，歷史上第二位獲得該獎項的田徑選手。

這位年僅25歲的瑞典天才巨星，在2024年再次展現出對撐桿跳專案的統治力。 他在3月贏得第二枚室內世錦賽金牌，隨後在巴黎奧運會上奪金的過程中，第九次打破自己保持的世界紀錄，並在隨後的鑽石聯賽西里西亞站再次刷新該紀錄。

杜普蘭迪斯從去年的得主祖高域 (Novak Djokovic) 手中接過獎盃，光輝時刻再次封神。

拜爾斯 (Simone Biles) 在巴黎奧運會上的驚艷表現，讓她第四次獲得「勞倫斯年度最佳女運動員獎」，追平網壇傳奇、同為美國人的莎蓮娜威廉絲所保持的紀錄。 兩人還有另一個相似之處——曾獲得一次「年度最佳復出獎」。

拜爾斯將巴黎奧運會稱為自己的「救贖之旅」，在暫別體操賽場后重返巔峰。這位歷史上獲獎最多的體操運動員用震撼人心的表現完成了自我證明，斬獲三枚金牌和一枚銀牌。 一年前剛剛獲得「年度最佳復出獎」的她，如今真正完成了這段救贖旅程。

巴西體操名將安迪蕾德 (Rebeca Andrade) 在巴黎奧運會上完成了從職業生涯重創到榮耀回歸的勵志旅程，榮獲本年度「勞倫斯年度最佳復出獎」。

在經歷連續三次前十字韌帶（ACL）重傷和漫長痛苦的康復過程后，安迪蕾德一度萌生退役念頭。 然而她最終選擇堅持，艱難地重返巔峰，並在奧運會自由體操項目中奪得金牌——這一高光時刻也被永遠銘刻在體育史上：當她站上最高領獎台時，老對手拜爾斯向她深深鞠躬致敬。

皮迪確克 (Tom Pidcock)憑藉在奧運山地自行車越野賽中的驚天逆轉奪金，榮膺「勞倫斯年度最佳極限運動員獎」。

這位英國車手由於在比賽中爆胎原本幾乎無緣衛冕他在東京贏得的奧運冠軍頭銜。 然而在更換車輪後，他展開了一場驚心動魄的反擊，不僅追上了領騎者——法國本土選手維克多·科雷茨基，還在林間路段上完成大膽超車，最終逆襲奪金。

皮迪確克也成為第四位獲得該獎項的英國自行車運動員，此前三位分別是傑米·貝斯特威克 (Jamie Bestwick)（2014年）、瑞秋·亞瑟頓 (Rachel Atherton)（2017年）和貝絲·施里弗(Bethany Shriever)（2022年）。

殘奧游泳巨星蔣裕燕榮獲「勞倫斯年度最佳殘疾運動員獎」。

在2024年巴黎殘奧會上，蔣裕燕以7金的佳績成為賽事中獲得金牌最多的運動員，追平了勞倫斯體育學院成員「水怪」史畢茲的輝煌紀錄。 這位年僅19歲的中國選手還打破了兩項個人世界紀錄，並在閉幕式上擔任中國代表團的旗手。 也成為第七位獲得勞倫斯獎的中國人，此前的中國獲獎人包括姚明（2003年突破獎，2015年體育精神獎）、劉翔（2005年突破獎）、中國奧運代表隊（2009年最佳團隊獎）、李娜（2015年傑出成就獎）、夏伯渝（2019年體育時刻獎）以及谷愛凌（2023年最佳極限運動員獎）。

足壇新星也馬 (Lamine Yamal) 榮獲「勞倫斯年度最佳突破獎」，成為全球矚目的足球巨星之一。

在2024年歐洲杯上，也馬隨西班牙隊奪冠，期間他不僅成為歐洲杯歷史上最年輕的入球者，也是最年輕的決賽登場球員，並被評為賽事最佳年輕球員。 他也成為歷史上第二位獲得該獎項的足球運動員，前一位是去年獲獎的皇家馬德里中場球員比寧咸 (Jude Bellingham)。

比寧咸在今晚同樣沒有被忽視。堪稱贏球機器的皇家馬德里，憑藉一個輝煌賽季，榮獲「勞倫斯年度最佳團隊獎」。 上賽季，白衣軍團第36次捧起西甲冠軍獎杯、奪得第15座歐冠/歐洲優勝者杯冠軍，並在西班牙超級杯中4比1大勝勁敵巴塞隆拿。 進入2024-25賽季初期，皇馬依舊勢不可擋，接連贏得歐洲超級杯和洲際杯，這一成就也令安察洛堤 (Carlo Ancelotti) 成為皇家馬德里歷史上榮譽最多的主教練。

過去的25年間，勞倫斯世界體育獎見證了全球最偉大的運動員與「勞倫斯體育公益」專案共同登上領獎台，踐行創始贊助人於首屆頒獎典禮上所確立的使命——用體育的力量改變世界。 Kick4Life正是全球300多個「勞倫斯體育公益」專案之一，他們在社區中持續創造積極影響，並在本屆馬德里典禮上榮獲2025年勞倫斯體育公益獎。 Kick4Life通過足球專案幫助萊索托的高風險青少年群體，推動健康教育、生活技能發展、性別平權與就業能力提升。 該組織於2005年成立，自創立以來已覆蓋超過25萬名青少年，並曾在2022年獲得該獎項提名。

勞倫斯世界體育獎的提名由全球媒體評選產生，最終得主則由勞倫斯世界體育學院的69位成員——這一終極體育評審團投票選出。 今年，學院還特別頒發了兩項特別獎項。

拿度 (Rafael Nadal)榮獲勞倫斯體育偶像獎，以表彰他在宣布結束其職業生涯這一偉大篇章之際的卓越貢獻。一段由摩根費曼特別配音的視頻回顧了這位西班牙傳奇的榮耀生涯，並獻上深情致敬。本次頒獎也進一步拓展了拿度的「勞倫斯大滿貫」——他是唯一一位同時集 「年度最佳男運動員」、「年度最佳復出獎」、「年度最佳突破獎」以及「勞倫斯體育公益獎」於一身的運動員。

被譽為史上最偉大衝浪運動員的史雷特 (Kelly Slater)則獲得了勞倫斯終身成就獎。他曾四次獲得「勞倫斯年度最佳極限運動員獎」 ，並11次加冕世界衝浪聯盟冠軍頭銜。

完整獲獎名單如下：

勞倫斯年度最佳男運動員獎：杜普蘭迪斯 (Mondo Duplantis)

勞倫斯年度最佳女運動員獎：拜爾斯 (Simone Biles)

勞倫斯年度最佳團隊獎：皇家馬德里 (Real Madrid)

The Report

Maserati MSG Racing were looking to continue their momentum from Jeddah as Formula E returned to racing in Miami. The weekend held much promise, showcased with Stoffel Vandoorne’s strong qualifying performance. Unfortunately, bad luck got in the way of a good result and the team took no points away from the weekend.

Stoffel was looking to extract maximum out of the car along with Jake Hughes who, although struggling a little in comparison to Stoffel around the Homestead-Miami International Speedway, was still feeling good ahead of qualifying.

Margins were incredible tight in Group A, where both Stoffel and Jake were qualifying. Being off the pace by just over four tenths of a second sadly saw Jake out of the group stages, which was tough for the Brit to take having been so fractionally off the leading lap time.

Stoffel’s Group A time put him 0.040s behind Porsche’s Antonio Felix Da Costa who topped the group, earning him second in the group stage and a ticket into the Quarter Final Duels. He was up against Andretti’s Jake Dennis and gave the flying lap everything he had. It wasn’t quite enough to beat Dennis, but the 1:23.566 was the second fastest of all drivers relegated from the Quarter Finals, placing him sixth on the grid.

As usual, the race became all about strategy, with both Stoffel and Jake running different races to extract the most out of their starting positions. Stoffel’s Attack Mode usage saw him climb up to third, looking set to bring Maserati MSG Racing another podium. He got stuck in the wrong racing pack, which dampened his chances for a podium, but Stoffel was still in a good place to bring home a decent haul of points.

Jake focused on energy saving in the start, biding his time to pull a big energy advantage on his competitors. This put him in a great position at the end of the race, looking like he was going to convert his backrow start into a top four finish.

But the team’s luck ran out when Jake became tangled in an incident with DS PENSKE’s Max Guenther and Jaguar’s Mitch Evans. Looking to pass Jake, everything bottle necked at the Attack Mode Turn 4 chicane and Guenther went straight into the back of the Maserati Tipo Folgore. Evans joined the incident with nowhere to go, causing the sole red flag of the race with Jake the only retiree of the collision.

It was a quick clean up, leaving four racing laps to go, but Stoffel’s earlier brilliant Attack Mode strategy came back to haunt him. Now being in a pack of cars, most of which still had an Attack Mode to use, he was a sitting duck as his second Attack Mode had majority been lost to the red flag.

Maserati MSG Racing will regroup and get ready to go again as Formula E heads to Europe, not only for the first European race of the season but for the team’s home race in Monaco. For the first time a double header, Maserati MSG Racing will be looking to put out the best performance, extract the maximum from the cars and bring home a decent haul of points in front of a home crowd and team partners.

In Their Words

Jake Hughes, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing: “It’s a real shame to end the weekend with a DNF because I really think we were on for a good result. One lap pace wasn’t our strength this weekend – we’ll look over exactly what happened for me in qualifying because starting at the back in a Formula E race is never ideal. But in the race, to see that we have the pace and strategy to climb the grid, be in a position for a top five finish or possibly more, that’s really positive. The team did a great job of executing the energy saving strategy and I was in a really good position in the closing stages and I really think a lot of points were on offer. That’s why it’s so frustrating, or more frustrating, when you’re taken out by another driver. Sure, that’s motorsport and sometimes things don’t go your way, but it’s gutting to leave so many points that I really thought were ours on the table. There are still a lot of positives to take away from this weekend, and that makes me really excited for the next round in Monaco.”

Stoffel Vandoorne, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing: “From FP one our focus was on finding the perfect setup around this new circuit. It was a positive surprise to have such a strong result in qualifying, giving me some confidence going into the race. We were in a good position at the start, and knew points could be on the cards if we played the strategy right. From lights out the race was tricky, as Formula E races tend to be. So many cars together at the start, it can get chaotic and it’s important to keep your nose clean through the first few laps. We managed to get up into the top three, starting to use our Attack Mode strategy to good effect, but we got slightly too focused on the wrong competitors. It saw us stuck in the wrong pack, fighting with the wrong people, which put us on the back foot. I was still confident we could end the race with decent points, but I got unlucky with the safety car and that put an end to our progress. Albeit no points, we’ve learnt a lot this weekend. We’ll take it all forwards to Monaco where we’ll come back in better shape.”

Cyril Blais, Team Principal, Maserati MSG Racing: “With our strong starting position thanks to Stoffel, coming away with no points is not the result we were hoping for. Things were going well, especially for Jake who knew he’d have to play a different strategy to get in the points starting from the back. It was a good strategy: saving energy at the beginning and getting an energy advantage for the end of the race. He had one of the highest remaining energies in the closing stages of the race and could have certainly had a top four finish. Stoffel had a trickier race, getting stuck in the wrong pack, but he still looked on for good points. Unfortunately, Jake got taken out – nothing he could have done – and so this potentially good result was taken away from us. To add a bit more sting, the safety car and red flag caused by Jake’s incident neutralised Stoffel’s second Attack Mode, leaving him with his hands tied at the restart. From our promising start and how the race was unfolding we were really looking good to bring home points with both cars, but it simply didn’t go our way. We’ll regroup for the next race, work hard and get ready to bounce back in Monaco.”

Maria Conti, Head of Maserati Corse: “Despite the race results and the bad luck we’ve had today, we’re proud of the hard work and dedication shown by our drivers and team in Miami. Many lessons have been learned, but the Miami round was nevertheless significant for us. The American market plays a major strategic role for our Brand, and it was exciting to race surrounded by an enthusiastic audience of Maserati customers and fans. Now, we’re already looking forward to the next event: competing in Monaco in early May in an exciting double-header on the world’s most famous street circuit. It will be a unique opportunity to revive Maserati’s passion and competitive DNA on the roads of Monaco, where motorsport history has been made. We can’t wait!”

A welcome return to the track as Maserati MSG Racing takes on
Formula E’s newest venue, the Homestead-Miami International Speedway.

Race Stats
Lap Length [KM] // 3.001

Formula E continues Season 11 with a new circuit for the electric series: the Homestead-Miami International Speedway. Although not the first time Formula E has raced in Miami, the series’ return to Florida marks ten years since the last race in the US state. This weekend also marks the first time Maserati MSG Racing will take the Maserati Tipo Folgore to the Sunshine State, and the team is ready for the challenge ahead.

During the last round in Jeddah, Maserati MSG Racing had a weekend to remember, seeing solid improvements with the Tipo Folgore and the first podium of the season. British-driver Jake Hughes took a fantastic third place, and together with Belgian team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne brought home double-points from both races in the first double-header race weekend of the season. The 35-point haul saw the team climb to fifth in the Teams Championship Standings, with Jake now in the mix of the Drivers Championship respectively sitting in fifth place.

The Homestead-Miami International Circuit brings a new challenge to the team as it is the first race of the season that utilises an oval circuit. Data from Mexico City may come in handy, giving some permanent circuit data for the Gen3Evo in comparison to street circuit data, but the inner section of the oval promises its own challenges. With the track new to everyone on the grid in Formula E machinery, it’s as level a playing filed as Formula E can get.

The team has shown strong improvements over the first four races, so the full focus this weekend will be on maximising on all the point scoring opportunities when the chequered flag falls on Saturday.

In Their Words 

Jake Hughes, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing
“Starting at a new team has been a huge adaptation for me, but overall, it’s been a really positive start to the season. I think we’ve still got a lot of improve on though, and that’s very exciting considering we’re already getting the results that we’re getting. This break has been positive for us. Even though we were coming off a positive result in Jeddah, this was a good opportunity to analyse some data, go testing like we did in late March in Majorca, and improve the car further which I’m very hopeful that we did. I’m ready to attack the second and third parts of the season and I’m very much looking forward to building on our success so far.”

Stoffel Vandoorne, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing:
“The start of the season was pretty good, even if a bit challenging at times. Jake and I are both new to the team, so obviously it takes a bit of time in the beginning to really gel together, but I think now we’re in a strong position. We’ve managed to execute some strong races at the start of the year. A little bit of bad luck on our side as well, but I think now is the time to put all the pieces together and I’m feeling positive and confident going into the next part of the season. It’s going to be an intense with a lot of races coming in a short period of time, but I feel like we’re on the right trajectory. Now is the moment to put all the pieces together and really maximise the next couple of races to score as many points as possible and deliver some good results.”

Cyril Blais, Team Principal, Maserati MSG Racing:
“It’s always a very exciting time when we go racing in the US, but this race even more so because it will be the first time for Formula E races at Homestead. The track looks challenging and exciting from a driver’s perspective, I think they will have a lot of fun. It’s obviously the first time any team will be competing at this track so it’s a level playing field which is always good but anywhere new presents fresh challenges.

“We’ve had a six-week break since our last race in Jeddah where the team and the drivers did a fantastic job. Jake scored our first podium of the season and Stoffel had an incredible recovery drive after having a technical issue which saw him starting from the back but he came through to finish sixth. It was an incredible race for both of them. Having both cars in the top six shows the determination and the performance of the team. Stoffel and Jake are delivering exactly what we’re expecting, not just the expertise but also the input and feedback they bring to the team, both on a personal level and the technical knowledge that they have. During the first few races we needed to learn and get to know each other, but now we’re in a good rhythm and we’re confident that the second half of the season will deliver more strong results.”

Marla Conti, Head of Maserati Corse:
“After a six-week break, we are particularly excited to race in Miami. The US market plays a major strategic role for Maserati and we look forward to meeting our customers and fans in this key city for our Brand. In addition, after the first podium of the season at the second race in Jeddah, the Homestead-Miami Speedway circuit is another big opportunity to test the performance of our Tipo Folgore. The team is experiencing a growth spurt, with the aim to continue to battle to be in the leading group, to fully express our competitive DNA.”
