Great Britain's Chemmy Alcott has said that she is "really ecstatic" with her return to skiing after finishing 16th in the women's super combined downhill at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Alcott has since pulled out of the slalom discipline, but she insists that she is "pleased" with her performance in the downhill event.
"I'm really pleased with that, to come from three seconds behind in my best training run to be 1.5 seconds off the lead in a race situation," she told BBC Sport. "I'm really ecstatic. I thought 'Wow! The whole world's going to be watching, I need to up my game'.
"There are a few really difficult turns up there for me. There's a sidehill right-footer to start off with, and being as my right leg is metal I really struggle to roll on that foot so I've struggled there all week.
"I just have to try to muscle through that section and get onto the flat and then enjoy it."
Alcott suffered a double fracture of her right leg in 2011.
