There were lots of winners at last week's Sportel Monaco.

One of the highlights of the annual Sportel networking event is the Georges Bertellotti Golden Podium Awards ceremony. During this year's gala evening, Peace and Sport Organization announced the winners of its Image of the Year are tennis players Rohan Bopanna from India and Ul-Haq Aisam Qureshi from Pakistan. Rohan (Hindu) and Aisam (Muslim) have played in a doubles team for 3 years, and during the 2010 ATP World Tour they wore outfits with the slogan Stop War, Start Tennis. Dubbed by fans the Indo-Pak Express, the duo reached the final of the US Open, and have brought the political authorities in their respective countries closer through their own friendship and commitment.

Another award winner was Francesco Totti, captain of Italian football team Roma FC.
