Short track gold for Russia's Victor An

Speed skater Victor An wins the men's 500m short track event to pick up his fifth Olympic medal.

Russian Federation speed skater Victor An has won the men's 500m short track race to pick up his fifth Winter Olympic medal.

The 28-year-old, who originally competed for South Korea before opting to represent Russia, finished ahead of Liang Wenhao of China and Canadian Charle Cournoyer, who took silver and bronze respectively.

An had already won gold in the 1,000m event in Sochi, while three of his previous medals had been won for South Korea at previous Games.

Meanwhile, Great Britain's Jon Eley failed to qualify for the final after a slight slip saw him finish his semi-final race in fourth position, with only the top two advancing.
