Shelley Rudman: 'Skeleton medals are wide open'

Great Britain skeleton racer Shelley Rudman believes that anyone could win the gold medal in her event when she and her competitors get their campaigns underway later today.

Great Britain skeleton racer Shelley Rudman believes that the competition in her event is wide open for anyone to take the gold in the Winter Olympics.

Rudman finished sixth in the skeleton in Vancouver four years ago, but believes that her Team GB teammate Lizzy Yarnold has an excellent chance to go even better.

She told BBC Sport: "I think the competition is going to be really exciting to watch. Definitely Great Britain with Lizzy, the Americans (Noelle Pikus-Pace), as well as the Germans (Anya Huber and Marina Gilardoni) are quite strong now.

"I think it's going to be quite an open race. It will be intriguing."

Rudman and Yarnold get their Olympic campaigns underway later today.
