REDDITCH speed skater Charlotte Gilmartin missed out on the chance to race for a Winter Olympics medal when crashing in the semi-finals of the 1500m short track event.

Gilmartin had put her crash in last weekend's 500m contest behind her when she quickly moved into the semi-finals of the longer distance in PyeongChang.

However, it was again to be disappointment for the Redditch athlete when she slid out mid-way through the semi-final.

She was able to return to her feet and eventually placed fifth.

She will now look to bounce back when she competes in the 1000m event.
