Nicholas Buckland "frustrated" at figure skating point penalty

Great Britain's figure skater Nicholas Buckland has admitted his frustration at being penalised for a extended lift during the short dance program at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

Buckland and teammate Penny Coomes secured 11th place with a score of 59.33 and qualified for tomorrow's free dance program finals.

Speaking after the contest, Buckland told TeamGB.com: "It's frustrating. We still got a lot of points for the lift; we gained more points from it than we lost but you still don't want to lose a point.

"We love that lift and nobody has ever done it before but we need to keep working on it so it doesn't happen again. We train to be perfectionists, so it's a bit disappointing."

Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the USA lead the standings with a score of 78.89.
