We've just heard from Elise Christie and now you can see her performance as she won her heat in an Olympic record, although that record only lasted 15 minutes before South Korea's Choi Min-jeong went two hundredths of a second faster.

Elise Christie speaking to BBC after moving into the quarter-finals of the women's 500m: "I know, it's crazy. I didn't even feel like I was going at my maximum. It went really well and i just tried to maintain a good speed after my start.

"I'm not going to lie, I don't think I've been as nervous as that for about six years. I think because everybody back home has been so excited to see me skate again, I thought, 'maybe I can't do this.' But I did.

"Racing hasn't gone well this year because of injuries so I wanted to put a statement out there to say 'I'm back.' I think I've showed them.

"My best race is the 1,000m so I'm trying to build into that really. I'm not quite at full fitness yet. I just want to get it done and go out there and do it again. I feel quite good. It's going to be tough though. It's about getting the preparation in between done properly."

The North Korean cheerleaders are at the Gangneung Ice Arena - and they are a sight to behold.

They even have a conductor telling them when to chant. Still, it is making for a great atmosphere.

Elise Christie got a great start. She got away really quickly and went straight into first and stayed out of trouble.

It came down to a 50-50 call and it is harsh but those short track speed skaters know it could happen. Charlotte Gilmartin skated great but she just got caught on her line.

Choi Min-jeong won that last heat and did it in a new Olympic record time of 42.870 seconds.

Elise Christie was the holder of the Olympic record for about 15 minutes, but it does mean she is the second fastest qualifier into Tuesday's quarter-finals.

The judges chat, and actually they say that Charlotte Gilmartin is the one to blame. She gets a penalty. That is her out of this competition.

It seems that Charlotte Gilmartin may not have not done anything wrong. The guilty party could well be Olympic Athlete From Russia member Emina Malagich.

The officials are discussing it. Is there to be a reprieve for Gilmartin? If the race is re-run, will she even be fit enough to race after crashing heavily?

Three of the four racers are in a heap on the track. Charlotte Gilmartin looks injured on the sidelines.

Charlotte Gilmartin goes in the last heat. One of her rivals is home skater Choi Min-jeong, who has the large crowd cheering her on.

First attempt = false start.

Over in the luge, David Gleirscher of Austria is now leading, with reigning champion Felix Loch of Germany in second. Adam Rosen and Rupert Saudinger will be going soon.

Annika Taylor made her Winter Olympics debut for Great Britain in the women's cross country earlier, which was won by Swede Charlotte Kalla - the first gold of the Games.

Taylor, 24, finished 60th and said: "It's such a special feeling competing at an Olympic Games and being called an Olympian. There are not that many people who get that opportunity.

“The conditions were really good although there was a strong headwind that would hit you as you were coming back in. But we were prepared for that and knew it was going to happen."

She next competes in the 10km free on Thursday. "I hope that this race just blew the cobwebs away a little bit and I can go and enjoy that race and fight back little bit.

"The event is something I've been really looking forward to all year so I hope I can go out and deliver.”

Can Charlotte Gilmartin make it two Brits into the quarter-finals. She is in the final heat, heat eight coming up soon.
