From soccer genius Lionel Messi to sprint king Usain Bolt, a shimmering array of the world's greatest sports stars are in the race for top honours at the prestigious Laureus World Sports Awards to be presented in Berlin today. The awards are also called the Oscars of Sport.The women's category features iconic names like tennis queen Serena Williams and track and field's "Pocket Rocket" Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce among others. In the men's category, three-time winner Bolt and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi, are joined by Tennis No.1 Novak Djokovic, triple Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton along with first time nominees Stephen Curry, star of NBA's Golden State Warriors, and Golf's world No.1 Jordan Spieth, who has also been nominated in the 'Breakthrough of the Year' category. In the quintet, Messi is perhaps the biggest star to have never won this coveted trophy even though he has been nominated in five previous editions.
