Beijing Olympics diving gold medallist Matthew Mitcham has
upstaged a star-studded field to win the 2008 Sports Performer of
the Year award in Melbourne tonight.
The 20-year-old was one of eight elite athletes shortlisted for
the award but his heroics in claiming individual gold in the men's
10m platform event at the 2008 Games was deemed the most worthy of
recognition.
