Shelley Rudman has said that she was "really happy" with her performance in the women's skeleton event at the Winter Olympic Games, despite finishing 16th.

Rudman achieved an overall time of 3:56.47 from her four runs in her third Olympic appearance.

She told reporters: "I am really happy that I really stuck with it and really tried my hardest to connect with the track but it was one that didn't suit my style of driving.

"But that final run, there were parts of it where I thought 'I am getting it, I am getting it'. I just tried everything I could and I am happy that I really stuck with it.

"My starts were really good on the first day and I can only be happy and the support back home has been brilliant."

Rudman won silver in the 2006 Games and finished sixth in 2010.
