The British are coming, the British are coming! Well, sort of. The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics hasn't been the success Team GB thought it would be with a return of just one gold medal.

But our athletes are far from disheartened, especially London-born speed skater Sarah Lindsay.

Born in Kingston-upon-Thames, the 30 year-old took to the ice aged 9, though initally figure skating. After being talent spotted and encouraged to try speed skating, she said it was an "instant love."

She honed her skills at Richmond Ice Rink and made her international debut for Team GB in 1996.

A glittering carrer followed, including appearances at the World and British Ladies Championships. But her proudest moment? Winning the silver at the 2007 European Championships.

A troubled 2010 games saw her disqualified after collinding with another skater during the 500m short track speed skating race.

She is tipped for great things at the next games at Russia 2014.
