Mars Refuel Drink Reveals Britain's Most Inspiring Sporting Moments

LONDON, April 4, 2011 - Torvill and Dean have beaten the 1966 England football side in a new poll
conducted by MARS Refuel drink to find out the nation's most inspirational
sporting moments.*

The ice skating duo's perfect score at the 1984 Olympics topped the list
of the nation's most inspirational sporting moments, 27 years after their
incredible performance saw them win gold in Sarajevo.

The 1966 World Cup winning England team came in second, whilst Dame Kelly
Holmes winning two gold medals in Athens in 2004 came third.

A quarter of those polled by MARS Refuel drink say they have been
inspired to take up a sport following a major sporting event, by watching
sport on TV, or from the success of an elite sportsperson.

In the case of taekwondo World Number 1, Aaron Cooke, sporting
inspiration came from an unlikely source!

Aaron explains; "I started Taekwondo when I was five years old because I
watched Power Rangers and wanted to be one! It just goes to show sporting
inspiration can come from anywhere!"

Aaron is keen that others are inspired to get involved in sport. He
continues; "If anyone needs financial support getting active, they should
check out the MARS Refuel Drink Fund."

to try new sports and play their favourite sport for longer.
