Great Britain skier Chemmy Alcott has admitted that she made an error in the ladies' Super-G final at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The 23-year-old finished 23rd earlier today and believes that the risks she took did not pay off.
"I should have managed my expectations a bit better but I just know if I could do it again I would be a lot better," she told reporters after the final.
"I saw a lot of the girls skiing pretty and round, so I took some risks and they paid off until the last pitch. I just made a judgement error and had to battle down.
"You choose your own fate and that [crashing out] wasn't going to be my fate. I was going to fight down and get my best result ever, that is how I think.
Alcott also said that the course was "brutal" due to the stark contrast in surfaces that the competitors had to tackle.
"It was brutal, you had ice at the top to deal with then it was gripping and then there was snow at the bottom," she said.
"I knew that wasn't going to suit me because you haven't got any feeling on this and I haven't got any feeling anyway."
Alcott finished 19th in the women's downhill on Wednesday.
