Jon Eley says that he is delighted to have been the flagbearer for Team GB during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Jon Eley has said that it was an "incredible honour" for him to carry the Great British flag during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

The short track speed skater led a 56-member Team GB unit at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi on Friday.

"It was an incredible honour to lead our team in, definitely one of the most special things I have ever experienced," he said. "The only time I got nervous was when they first handed me the flag before we entered the stadium.

"Once we were in there, though, I was just trying to make Britain proud and soak it all up. I was thinking about my family and all the people who have helped me in my career.

"The only problem was, it all went too fast. I wanted to take the team on another lap around the stadium, but I don't think they would have let us do that."

Eley previously represented Britain at the 2006 and the 2010 Winter Olympics.
