World 800 metres champion Maria Mutola has been awarded Mozambique's highest civilian honour for her contribution to sport.

Mutola, the dominant figure in women's 800 metres for a decade, was awarded the Order of Eduardo Mondlane First Class, which has previously only been given to heads of state and government.
 
Sports Minister Joel Libombo said on Monday that the 31-year-old Olympic champion had received the honour for her patriotism and charity work.
