Lothains speed skater Elise Christie breaks world record
Lothians speed skater Elise Christie broke the 500m world record during the second World Cup event of the season in Salt Lake City.
The Livingston-born 26-year-old clocked 42.335 seconds – beating the previous record of 42.504 held by Fan Kexin of China – in her quarter-final.
However, Christie took a tumble during the closing stages of the final to miss out on a medal.
The Scot won 500m gold in the opening event of World Cup series in Calgary a week ago.
