Great Britain speed skater Jon Eley has revealed that he is relishing the tough competition in the latter stages of the Winter Olympics.

The 29-year-old reached the quarter-finals of the 500m, after being eliminated from the 1,000m, and he is looking forward to facing the best competitors, including Russia's controversial skater Victor An.

Eley told the Team GB official website: "It's just good to get the best people on the ice, I love the competition to be as tough as possible at the Olympics, that is what it's all about.

"We're out here to race, I don't care who I race against as long as they are the very best skaters and that's Victor."

Eley is back in action on Friday.
