British-born skier Ben Cavet "really happy" with moguls effort

British-born skier Ben Cavet says that he was "really happy" with his performance in Monday's moguls final at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Kent-born skier Ben Cavet has declared himself "really happy" with his performance in Monday's moguls event at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The 20-year-old was eliminated in the second phase of the final after finishing eighth.

"I am really happy," he told reporters. "I missed the last six by two places - that is one split of the skis.

"I am still relatively young for the sport and this was my first Winter Olympics so I was just aiming for a bit of experience. And, hopefully, I will be going for a medal in 2018."

Cavet became a French citizen in 2012 after failing to find funding from the UK.
