Team GB skier Emma Lonsdale reveals that she is to retire following her failure to qualify for the final stage of the ladies' half-pipe event.

Great Britain skier Emma Lonsdale has revealed that she is to retire.

The 29-year-old finished 18th in the ladies' half-pipe qualifying event earlier today, missing out on a place in the final.

"I'm retiring, that's it. I was going to retire a few years ago and then half-pipe became an Olympic discipline," Lonsdale is quoted as saying by TeamGB.com. "With Jenny Jones doing as amazingly as she did, the more people who get involved in grassroots the better.

"That is where we have all come from, we have all come from dry slopes and indoor centres and proved that we can compete on the world stage and get medals and the more people who get involved the better.

"I was very excited out there. I'm very happy to be have been able to compete. I didn't ski my very best. I missed a few grabs, which isn't ideal, but I tried my hardest under quite a lot of pressure out there."

Lonsdale recorded scores of 53.80 and 43.20 in her qualifier at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.
