Simone Biles, Rebeca Andrade, and Mondo Duplantis to attend 2025 Laureus Awards in Madrid

The Laureus World Sports Awards celebrate their 25th anniversary with a ceremony in Madrid featuring legends from several sports.

Simone Biles, Rebeca Andrade, and Mondo Duplantis are among Paris 2024 Olympic champions who have joined the growing list of stars set to attend the 2025 Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid.

World tennis No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, will also be at the iconic Palacio de Cibeles, where the Awards are being hosted for the second consecutive year, joining Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam winner and five-time Laureus World Sportsman of the year who had previously confirmed his attendance.

Olympic gymnastics legend Biles is a nominee for the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Award alongside US and Australian Open winner Sabalenka, while Brazil’s Andrade is in the running for the World Comeback of the Year trophy.

“Receiving my first Laureus Award from Nadia Comăneci, in 2017 is still one of my most cherished memories and this event is incredibly special to me,” Biles said in an interview with Laureus.

“I’m excited to be in Madrid with everyone to celebrate so many amazing achievements as well as the wonderful work that Laureus does. The Nominees in every single category are so inspiring to me and I’m extremely proud to stand alongside so many others who competed at the top of their sport in 2024.”

Duplantis, who broke his own pole vault world record twice last year, is among the nominees for the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year, along with Four-time tennis Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz.

The event will be held on Monday, April 21.
