The pressure of a Winter Olympic Games is huge for any athlete, but one British snowboarder has extra motivation to perform well this month.
Katie Ormerod narrowly missed out on qualifying for the 2014 Games in Sochi, but looked set to finally live her Olympic dream in Pyeongchang four years later.
However, a cruel and painful twist of fate would deny the snowboarder the chance to compete for a medal as she suffered a freak injury on the eve of the Games.
Ormerod had already broken her wrist on the first day of Olympic training, but was so determined to take part that she continued to practice through the pain.
But 24 hours later the dream was over, as she shattered her heel which left her at the beginning of a long road to recovery.
Ormerod comes into these Winter Olympics hoping third time is the charm, as once again she arrives as one of Team GB 's best medal hopes.
Billy Morgan, who took men's Big Air bronze at those Games in Pyeongchang, hopes to see his former Team GB team-mate succeed this month but knows it will be a huge occasion for her.
"That's the good thing about snowboarding – anything can happen on the day and that's what makes it so interesting," Morgan said at a pre-event media conference which included Mirror Sport .
"There's a bit of extra pressure on Katie because she was looking so strong coming into the last Games but then had that unfortunate heel explosion.
"But it looks like she's riding really well. She's a very consistent snowboarder and she's been riding well in the run-up, so hopefully we will see good things."
Meanwhile, Ormerod herself has spoken of the challenge ahead in the build-up to the Games.
And while the Yorkshirewoman acknowledged that what happened four years ago and the long road to recovery afterwards plays a part, she insists it's not something she thinks about anymore.
"It was pretty scary when I saw it for the first time, I was like 'wow this course is... big'. It's the Olympics, it should be bigger and better than any other competition we do," Ormerod told YorkshireLive.
"It was amazing to get out there finally and have a proper inspection, it's getting pretty real now. I feel more confident having seen it, I've got a few ideas for tackling it already and can't wait to get out there training and competing.
"The snow is also amazing, it's much better than I thought and it's running really nicely under my board. It's just very, very cold and you need to get as many layers on as you can.
"I've had so many contests since Pyeongchang, I know what happened there is a massive part of my story and journey but I genuinely don't think about it anymore. I've got too many positives to focus on.
"I've not being distracted by any external expectations either, my mindset is just focussing on my performance and that's the mental headspace I need to be successful."
