Its not every week that The Voice UK gets an Olympian auditioning, and that's exactly what happened tonight (January 21).

22-year-old long jumper, Jazmin Sawyers, took on the challenge of getting the coaches to turn, and she struck gold.

Taking on Alessia Cara's hit 'Here', the youngster managed to catch will.i.am's attention with the coach turning at the last minute.

Jennifer Hudson said: "You must be something special if you got this one to turn around!"

Jazmin explained that she stopped musical theatre at 14 to focus on sport, before reviving the music a few years ago. She also revealed that she came eighth in the Olympics.

With as many talents as that, we are insanely jealous!

This is will's second turn of the evening, having chosen youngster Hayley Eccles too, after her own father failed to turn any of the coaches earlier.

Earlier in the night, David Jackson from Belfast managed to get three coaches – Gavin Rossdale, Jennifer Hudson and Sir Tom Jones – to turn around after a stirring rendition of Kodaline's 'All I Want'.

The Voice UK airs on ITV.
