Amy Williams consoles Katie Summerhayes on Twitter

Amy Williams, who won skeleton gold four years ago in Vancouver for Great Britain, has posted an encouraging message on Twitter to freestyle skier Katie Summerhayes.

The Sheffield-born teenager finished in seventh place in today's Olympic ski slopestyle final and admitted that she was "gutted" about the outcome.

However, the 31-year-old gold medallist had nothing but praise for the 18-year-old Briton.

@suummerhayes huge well done take the positives from today as you have proved to yourself how much potential u have for the future
