Christie also revealed her secret plan to retire and switch to another sport had she won gold. “I probably wanted to retire,” said Christie, who had talks with British Cycling after her disappointment in Sochi four years ago. “I thought I’d medal and then, because I’d achieved what I wanted, maybe I could have a go at another sport. It didn’t work out and while I’ve thought about other sports, my heart lies with short‑track.”Doubling up in short- and long‑track would not be unprecedented. It’s a lot to think about but it’s still skating and that’s the sport that I love.
