Kilmarnock's Kathryn Thomson was left rueing her luck after the first event of her Winter Olympic campaign lasted fewer than 15 seconds.
Thomson made her Games debut four years ago in PyeongChang but didn't progress beyond the heats in any of her events.
She lowered the colours of three-time world champion Elise Christie in the team trials last year but her 500m heat here was a blink and you’ll miss it affair, crashing in the very first lap.
