LOS ANGELES (AP) — Olympic swimming champion Katie Ledecky has won best athlete in women’s sports at The ESPYS. She received her trophy from 95-year-old Maybelle Blair, who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. NBA Finals MVP Stephen Curry hosted the show honoring the year’s top athletes and moments. He picked up a trophy, too. Curry won for best record-breaking performance for setting the mark for most 3-pointers in league history. Former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko was honored with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage. Klitschko has been mayor of embattled Kyiv, Ukraine, since 2014. He wasn’t present in Los Angeles.
