Christie is called to the line. Number 116 on her yellow helmet. She fastens the strap and adjusts her hair. Here we go...

Christie, long blonde hair, is on the ice with her three opponents. Helmets off at the moment, all four are waiting to be called to the line. Four and a half life-changing laps await.

Our man in Sochi, Ollie Williams, has been chatting to Elise Christie. "Chatting" being the key word.
According to Christie, her talking to her opponents is a potentially key weapon.
"I distract them. I don't know if I do it intentionally or not. I just try to have a conversation," she said.

BBC Sport in SochiThis is such an unlikely medal shot for Elise Christie, Yes, she's exceptionally accomplished and an all-rounder in this sport, but the 1,000m is her speciality. She has never, in her senior career, reached a 500m final. Until now.
Li Jianrou of China is in the same boat, she never makes it to 500m finals but here she is. Italy's Arianna Fontana is ranked third in the world over 500m, Park Seung-hi of South Korea is ranked fourth. And that's it. Those four women, for three medals, just after 12:05 GMT. This is going to be an incredible four-and-a-half laps.

Christie, the 23-year-old from Livingston in Scotland, won her heat to qualify for this final - her first at Olympic level.
Don't know much about her? You will soon. In a four-woman field, she has a 75% chance of a medal.
What Elise Christie facts can I give you? Well, her boyfriend is fellow GB speed skater Jack Whelbourne and she can play the Alton Towers theme tune on the piano.

Short track is one of the most exciting sports on the Winter Olympic programme, with wipeouts and crashes commonplace.
Skaters race in heats of either four or six around a tight oval track, with the fastest two or three qualifying for the next round.
Overtaking is allowed but there are strict rules on impeding opponents. Races are held over 500m, 1000m and 1500m, and there is also a men's and women's relay.

Britain's Greg Drummond can file that effort under B for 'bosh' as he knocks all the rocks out of the circle. That, in the business we call curling, is called an open house.

Some of you might want to know where David Murdoch's troops are in the table. Yes? Excellent. They're currently joint third alongside Sweden. Unbeaten China are top after four matches.
