ELISE Christie is out of the Winter Olympics after being disqualified from her 1000m short track speed skating heat.

The Scot fell on the first corner and went down holding her ankle, but recovered to restart the race and finish second before being carried out of the arena.

However, she then received a yellow card following a video review of the race after a bump with Anna van Ruijven of the Netherlands. 

The 27-year-old's medal dream is now over for another four years after crashing out in last week's 500m and 1500m events.

Christie recovered from an ankle injury for Tuesday's race in Pyeongchang and her participation was only confirmed one hour before the start.

It is the second Games in a row that has seen the world champion suffer heartbreak, after being disqualified from all three distances at Sochi 2014.
