The 2018 winners of The Nottingham Post Sports Lifetime Achievement Award were Nottingham’s most famous Olympians Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean. Almost 35 years since they won the hearts of the nation – and gold medals at the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo with their legendary Bolero performance – the former ice dancing duo took centre stage on a special night with Jayne receiving the award from Alan Hardy and Christopher live by video link from his home in America.
