Charlotte Gilmartin relishing Olympic experience

Great Britain short track speed skater Charlotte Gilmartin has admitted that she is enjoying her experience at her first Winter Olympics.

Gilmartin reached the quarter-finals of the 500m as she recorded a time of 44.44 seconds in her heat on Monday.

"I came here knowing this was about building for the first Olympics. There is not much expectation on me and I just want to put in my best performance and see what happens," she told reporters.

"Usually at short track events we have loads of races every day. Here we have just one race and then your day is over and tomorrow is a day off.

"I usually build into a competition and you don't get that option at the Olympics. You give it all you've got and then you get to rest. It's quite good in some ways but it's totally new to me."

The 23-year-old will compete in the quarter-finals of the short track later today.
