Elise Christie's Olympics dream is over after she was dramatically disqualified from her women's 1000m heat in Pyeongchang.

The 27-year-old crashed to the ice within the opening seconds of the start but under short track rules, a crash on the first lap leads to a re-start.

Despite evidently being in a lot of pain, Christie soon got back into her stride and crossed the line second, before being disqualified after bumping Holland's Anna van Ruijven.

The Brit also crashed out of the 500m final last week before suffering the same fate in Saturday’s 1500m semi-final as she scrambled to qualify on the final bend.

She was stretchered from the track amid fears her Olympics were over, but bravely returned on Tuesday in a bid to claim an elusive Olympic medal.

The quarter-finals will be contested on Thursday, but Christie will unfortunately be absent.
