Nicky Gooch believes that Jack Whelbourne was racing well in the 1500m short track final before his crash at the Sochi Games.

Great Britain's speed skating coach Nicky Gooch has hailed Jack Whelbourne for his performance in the 1500m short track final, despite the 22-year-old crashing out when fourth in the race.

Whelbourne twisted his ankle in the race, and while Gooch admits that he is unsure of the prognosis, he is confident that the skater will be able to compete in both the 500m and 1000m events to come at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

"We don't know what is wrong, maybe he'll put some ice on it tonight, he'll be sore tomorrow and he'll be good in a couple of days," Gooch told Team GB's official website.

"He was in a good position, racing well and looking strong. He was trying to move himself up a little bit when a block got under his skate. It was out of his control.

"He skated very well but anything can happen in the race and that is what makes this sport so exciting."

Whelbourne's next event - the 1000m - takes place on Thursday.
