Inspiration has come from Sarah Stevenson. 09 November 2012

Olympic Champion Jade Jones has been named Sunday Times Young Olympian of the Year 2012.

She received the award last night from UK Sport Chief Executive Liz Nicholl, at a glittering ceremony in London.

The 19 year old from Flint capped an incredible year by claiming the prize and appeared alongside World Champion Sarah Stevenson, who previously won the Sports Woman of the Year in 2011.

Speaking to the BBC, Jade said: ““Sarah’s inspired me loads and she’ll always be a legend. Every time I watch the final back it’s mad and it brings back all of the emotion. It was an amazing feeling.”
