Vio won gold and bronze medals in fencing in Rio last year, and picked up the Laureus award for World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability on Tuesday.
Rosberg is the fifth F1 driver to be recognised at the Laureus awards, following on from Daniel Ricciardo (2015), Jenson Button (2010), Lewis Hamilton (2008) and Juan Pablo Montoya (2002).
