Third in the world for Christie in Seoul

Great Britain short track speed skating head coach Nick Gooch declared himself a satisfied man after his team finished the World Championships with three top-ten positions, including an overall third-place ranking for Elise Christie.

European champion Christie had picked up a bronze medal in the 1500m on Saturday, bouncing back from being knocked out of the 500m event at the quarter-final stage.

And she was in even better form on Sunday as she executed her race tactics to pick up a silver in the 1000m behind Choi Min-Jeong.

She then took part in the 3000m Super Final, picking up enough points to ensure she finished third overall in the standings behind champion Choi.

Elsewhere Jack Whelbourne rounded off a season disrupted by injury by finishing ninth overall with Charlotte Gilmartin tenth overall in the women’s world rankings.

Gooch said: "I'm really proud of the way the athletes performed. Charlotte Gilmartin has made big progress throughout the season and Jack Whelbourne has shown great resilience to overcome injury and perform with so little preparation.

“Although perhaps missing some opportunities to walk away with gold, Elise has still had the best World Championships of her career to date." Watch video footage of the World Championships here: http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/isu/
