Britain's two gold medallists at this summer's World Championships were voted the country's top athletes of 2009 in a poll of BAWA members.
 

Idowu won the male athlete of the year trophy for the second year in a row, the first man to do so since fellow triple jumper Jonathan Edwards in 2000 and 2001.
 

The 30-year-old triple jumper from Hackney, East London, broke his outdoor personal best in Berlin to become Britain's first male world champion since Edwards in 2001.
 

Idowu leapt 17.73 metres to beat Olympic gold medallist Nelson Evora just 12 months after suffering disappointment when losing to the Portuguese jumper in Beijing.
 

Ennis won the female award for the first time after dominating the heptathlon in Berlin only a year after she was forced to miss the Beijing Olympic Games with a career-threatening ankle injury.
 

The 23-year-old from Sheffield won gold with a world leading score of 6,731 points, placing her second behind Denise Lewis on the British all-time list.

Jodie Williams won the junior female athlete of the year award after clinching gold at both 100 metres and 200m at the World Youth Championships in July.
 

The 16-year-old from Hertfordshire became the first British woman to win a global sprint double when she triumphed in Italy, and her winning times of 11.39 and 23.08 placed her third in the UK senior rankings for 2009.
 

The male junior athlete of the year award went to Lawrence Clarke who won the 110m hurdles at the European Junior Championships in Serbia this summer.

 

The 19-year-old Bristol University student also broke Colin Jackson's British junior sprint hurdles record with 13.37.

 

He is coached by Jackson's former mentor, Malcolm Arnold.
