Lizzy Yarnold on moment she won skeleton gold at Sochi

Lizzy Yarnold has won Great Britain's first gold at the Sochi Winter Olympics after taking the skeleton title.

The 25-year-old led after each of the four rounds, even setting a track record on her third run.

She finished a cool 0.97 seconds ahead of silver medallist Noelle Pikus-Pace from the United States.

"It is unexplainable. I am sure it won't sink in for another few days," Lizzy said.
