Bolt one of three men for 2013 World Athlete of the Year

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaica’s sprint sensation Usain Bolt is one of three male athletes still in contention to become the 2013 World Athlete of the Year.

With a little under two weeks to go until the 2013 World Athletics Gala, the IAAF Monday announced finalists for the award, who were selected after a month-long poll of the World Athletics Family.

The other finalists are: Ukraine’s Bohdan Bondarenko and Mohamed Farah of Great Britain.

The IAAF said that the Council of the International Athletics Foundation will select the male and female winners, with the announcement taking place live on stage during the 2013 World Athletics Gala in Monaco, on Saturday, November 16.

The three women’s finalists will be announced on Tuesday, November 5.
