Skater Brian Joubert determined ahead of Sochi 2014

French figure skater Brian Joubert has stated that he is determined to do well ahead of what is likely to be the final Winter Olympics of his career.

Joubert was a world champion back in 2007, and will be competing in his fourth Olympic Games when proceedings kick off in Sochi this week.

He told reporters: "I see things differently now and I make the most of every minute. It's surely my final Olympics competition. I have to enjoy it and give it everything I have."

Despite being his nation's most decorated skater of all time, Joubert has continually come up short on the Olympic stage. His sixth-place finish in 2006 is his best result to date.
