GB miss out on speed skating medal as GB's Treacy penalised for collision
As Niall Treacy skidded out of the men's 500m heats on Monday morning, British hopes at the short track speed skating were finally put out of their misery.
Put in particularly stark contrast by Team GB's Super Sunday the day before - with golds won in snowboarding and skeleton - this has been a grim Games in Milan.
Treacy, Britain's only representative in short track, suffered a crash, fall or some other mishap in the 500m, 1,000m and 1500m.
There had been hope when the 25-year-old made the final of the 1,000m on Saturday night, the man ranked 20th in the world exceeding expectations.
