I’ll take break and get back to you,” she said.

After sliding down an icy track on the side of a South Korean mountain at 80mph and three hours of fitful sleep, Yarnold opted for more sedate pursuits during yesterday.

“I was knitting this morning and that was quite calming,” Yarnold said.

“I woke up really early as I’m not sleeping very well at the moment.

“I didn’t really know what to do but Netflix and chill, and do a bit of knitting.

“I’m only doing strips because I can’t do a pattern, it’s too complicate­d.

“It’s a nice thing because my nan taught me how to knit years ago and she passed away a few years ago so it’s something I can do and really feel connected to her.” JAMES WOODS vowed to “ski for ever” after coming agonisingl­y close to claiming Great Britain’s historic fifth medal at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchan­g.

Woods finished fourth in the men’s ski slopestyle, just 1.4 points off bronze, meaning Britain must wait to exceed their current recordequa­lling haul of four shared with Sochi 2014 and Chamonix 1924.

The Sheffield 26-year-old nailed a score of 91.0 on his second attempt to go into the third and last run of the men’s ski slopestyle final in the bronze medal position.

But American Nick Goepper overtook Woods on the final run to take silver behind Oystein Braaten of Norway.

Woods said: “I put in my best effort and I went for broke. That was the most incredible competitio­n - it’s a brilliant course and we had the perfect weather and conditions and everyone brought their A-game.

“I don’t want to blow my own trumpet about my run. If people like the look of that, there’s so much stuff out there. I think we did a great job. I think it was a perfect show. I’ll ski for ever, baby.” ■■Elise Christie faces a race against time to recover from an ankle injury.

The 27-year-old suffered soft tissue damage in a fall during her 1500m semi-final, and was taken off the ice on a stretcher.

Christie is due to go in the heats for her final and favoured distance of 1000m tomorrow.
