She was saying (on Twitter or somesuch) that she had decided to not attend this year but stay stateside for training. Bit of a shame, but I guess training is more important (even to sponsors) than these awards. I figure they're some sort of "industry" award because I'd never heard of them until she mentioned it on twitter.

Good that, well done Rachel.

I must say that old Prince Albert is punching somewhat out of his weight class.

I saw this - massive congratulations. If Bolt, Biles, Rosberg and Phelps can be arsed turning up it's substantial. Although all but Ms Biles are jacking it in and therefore probably enjoy a night out in Monaco!

BBC actually mentioned Rachel on the telly, so must be a bigger deal than we think.
