Training partners Sanya Richards and Jeremy Wariner won the Jesse Owens Award as the top USA Track & Field athletes of the year this week.

Both athletes had undefeated 400 metres seasons with Richards, the IAAF female athlete of the year, breaking the US record.

They will be honoured in Indianapolis this weekend as part of USATF's annual meeting.

Hopkins retired after beating Antonio Tarver in a light heavyweight bout in June.
