Christie: 'Stop sending abusive messages - it doesn't bother me'
British speed skater Elise Christie has responded to the online criticism she has received during the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Christie failed to win a medal in her three events for the second successive games. The 27-year-old was disqualified in her 1,000m short track heat on Tuesday and also crashed out of the 500m final and 1500m in Pyeongchang.
"I'm a world champion, you are sitting at home on your keyboard. Stop trying to make people feel bad," she told 5 live's Eleanor Oldroyd.
