Jordan's golden boy Ahmad Abu Ghaush has completed an astonishing year by being named the WorldTaekwondo Federation's male athlete of the year.
Abu Ghaush picked up his award at the sport's annual gala dinner held in Baku, Azerbaijan, and comes in recognition of his gold medal at the Olympics during the summer.
The 20-year-old was joined in Baku by his coach Faris Al Assaf who was runner-up in the world coach of the year category.
The winner of the women's award was Jade Jones, of Wales, who won her Olympic gold in the fight before Ahmad's in Rio de Janeiro.
