Zoe Gillings: 'Olympics were bittersweet'

Great Britain snowboarder Zoe Gillings has admitted that she has mixed feelings about her Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.

The 28-year-old finished ninth overall in the snowboard cross event after narrowly missing out on the final, as Italy's Michela Moioli edged her out.

"I'm happy. My main aim was to come here and ride as well as I could," she told The Express.

"I'm also really disappointed I didn't get into the final because that would have been immense. I'd like to meet that official now."

Gillings has also expressed her desire to compete in the next Games in 2018.
