The British men's short track speed skating team clinch a bronze medal in the 5,000m relay at the Montreal World Cup.

Great Britain's men have nabbed a bronze medal in the short track speed skating 5,000m relay at the Montreal World Cup.

The group, which is made up of Jon Eley, Richard Shoebridge, Jack Whelbourne and Paul Stanley, finished in a time of 6:36.448.

"The team performed really well right from the first heats," BBC Sport quotes national coach Nicky Gooch as saying.

"We knocked out the Olympic champions from Russia in the first round and beat the reigning world champions the Netherlands in the final, then set a new British record, which is a great achievement."

South Korea took gold and Hungary clinched silver in the final.
