Gillings hopeful of success in 2018

Great Britain snowboarder Zoe Gillings has revealed that she plans to continue competing until the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The 28-year-old, who has now featured in three Games, missed out on the final of the women's border cross event in Sochi after finishing fourth in her semi-final.

"As long as I can find the funding, I'll keep going," Gillings told BBC Sport. "I'll be 32 in Korea and that's a good age for someone in my sport so I'm confident, if I get the funding support I need, that I can be there challenging in four years' time.

"The support from back home has been immense! I got so many messages of good luck before my event and congratulations after."

The women's cross event was won by Eva Samkova of the Czech Republic.
