Team GB snowboarder Dom Harington plays down conditions

Great Britain snowboarder Dom Harington has refused to blame the conditions for his failure to reach the next round of the half-pipe competition at the Sochi Winter Olympics 2014 on Tuesday.

Harington, along with fellow Team GB athlete Ben Kilner, was eliminated from the competition on a bumpy pipe, but he said that was no excuse because all the competitors used the same course.

"I didn't do as well as I hoped," he told Team GB's official website. "I was really nervous on my first run and my legs were like jelly.

"The second was going really well but then I hit a bump and went down and that was it - game over. The conditions are the same for everyone so you can't complain."

Kilner was critical of the half-pipe following his two runs.
