Aiko Uemura admits that she may not participate in any more Olympics after finishing fourth in women's moguls in Sochi.

Japanese freestyle skier Aiko Uemura has said that the 2014 Sochi Games could be her last Winter Olympics.

The 34-year-old finished fourth in the women's moguls on Saturday for the second Olympics in a row.

"When I thought about aiming for Sochi after Vancouver, I was not confident that I would be back again and in a position of just being on or off the podium," the Japan Times quotes her as saying.

"But it makes me really happy to have been in a position of going for a medal here and thinking that I could get one if I ski well. I am so happy that I have been able to ski on the Olympic stage so many times and I am thinking this will be the last one for me.

"For me, I think I can finish with great memories of the Olympics. I didn't get any medals and I can only say sorry for that but I am glad I tried."

Justine Dufour-Lapointe, Chloe Dufour-Lapointe and Hannah Kearney finished first, second and third respectively.
