Liz Nicholl of UK Sport claims that fewer than three medals in the Winter Olympics would be disappointing for Team GB.

The chief executive of UK Sport Liz Nicholl has reiterated that three medals the minimum target for the Sochi Winter Olympics 2014, and fewer than that would be a "disappointment".

Nicholl said that three medals would be Team GB's best result for almost 80 years, and that there were enough strong competitors left to make the goal realistic.

"We're targeting at least three medals from these games," she told Sky Sports News. "If we won three medals it would be our best result since 1936 - and that would be outstanding.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Nicholls said: "Three [medals] is the number below which there would be a sense of disappointment. We know we've got a good number of opportunities and [below] three is the number the sports themselves would be disappointed with.

"So is it achievable? Yes. It's achievable because we've got skeleton still to come, we've got the curlers still in with a shout, we've got James Woods still to come."

Britain's only medal so far has been Jenny Jones's bronze in the snowboard slopestyle.
