Done+Dusted was honored to produce the 25th Anniversary Laureus World Sports Awards, held in Madrid on April 21, 2025—a landmark night that paid tribute to the athletes and stories that have defined a generation. From breathtaking athletic achievements to powerful stories of resilience and inspiration, this year’s ceremony captured the spirit of Laureus like never before.

Among the standout moments: Simone Biles made history by winning her fourth Sportswoman of the Year Award, tying Serena Williams and cementing her status as one of the greatest athletes of all time. Mondo Duplantis, fresh off his second Olympic gold, earned Sportsman of the Year, joining legends like Usain Bolt and Rafael Nadal in Laureus history.
