30/11/2009
Held at the Jumeriah Carlton Tower Hotel in London, the event was hosted by BBC sports commentator Clare Balding and welcomed well-known guests such as British freestyle swimmer, Joanne Jackson, the current GB Synchronised Swimming Squad and television presenter Justin Lee Collins.
Michele Duncan, marketing manager for Invista apparel in the UK, said: “We are proud to celebrate leading players within their field and we are therefore very pleased to bestow our award on Sharron Davies and recognise her achievements during her 20-year long competitive career and her commitment to the swimming industry beyond this period. She is a huge inspiration to swimmers of all generations and I am sure she will continue to inspire people to reach their goals in the years to come.”
Sharron Davies said: “I want to thank the Splash Awards and Invista for this award as it not only celebrates my career but it also recognises the wealth of British talent that we have in this country. Having moved from competing to commentating, I am in prime position to see the best of British talent within the swimming world and the emerging stars that are our future. I am looking forward to the 2012 Olympics in particular and witnessing more milestones for swimmers from our country.”
