There are evenings that make you dream and when they take place in Monaco, the dream is total. For several years now, the Sportel Awards have brought together sports players for a prestigious ceremony during which several prizes are awarded. “Placed under the Honorary Presidency of HSH Prince Albert II, SPORTEL Awards is above all an international competition whose aim is to reward the best sports sequences of the past year”, specifies the official website of the event. This year again, the organizers pulled out all the stops to offer an exceptional show held at the Grimaldi Forum last night.
Among the guests of honor, we were able to see Nathalie Pechalat. The former skater, who was once president of the French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG), was particularly in style for the evening. She was able to find her skater friends, like Gwendal Peizerat, also came to attend the Sportel Awards. Having become a singer since the end of his sports career, the former Olympic champion posed with the wife of Jean Dujardin, as well as with the two new stars of French skating, Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron (all photos can be found in the slideshow).
The royal family very well represented for this very prestigious event
But the skaters were not the only stars of the evening since we were also able to admire the lovely Nadiya. The 49-year-old singer has a great athletic past, having performed in athletics for a long time. The world champion Youri Djorkaeff was also there, as were several members of the royal family, starting with Louis Ducruet and Pierre Casiraghi. The journalist Anne-Laure Bonnet and the ski star Kevin Rolland complete this very prestigious line-up of stars.
