“We’re always ambitious on this show and we have introduced a sporting element for the last two years. First it was ice-skating and then last year it was BMX and skateboarding. This year we’ve got the beauty of gymnastics in the show, proving that sport can be beautiful to watch as well as exciting and in-your-face.”

The Awards ceremony, which was watched by a global television audience of 320 million, was hosted by a great sporting legend and member of the Laureus World Sports Academy, tennis star John McEnroe, who will be joined by top European actress Desiree Nosbusch.
