Team GB skier Andrew Musgrave is determined to put in a good display in the team sprint event after admitting that things did not work out for him in the men's 15km classic.
The 23-year-old finished 44th in the cross-country event, sandwiched between compatriots Andrew Young (37th) and Callum Smith (67th).
Musgrave feels that he could not push on from a promising start to Friday's event, but has insisted that he is improving throughout the Sochi Games and wants to continue doing so in his preferred team sprint next week.
"Today I felt a little bit better," he told reporters. "I felt I opened off at the speed I normally would do and up until about halfway it was going alright.
"Usually I open off at that speed and I can increase for the second half whereas today I felt I started off at good speed but at halfway instead of being able to increase I just died.
"There is still next week and the team sprint and the 50km, so hopefully I will take it a little bit easier in the next few days. I felt like today was my weaker discipline, the sprint should be my best event, and I felt a little bit better although my position wasn't good. Physically I felt better."
Young and Smith have admitted that they struggled in the unfamiliarly hot conditions.
