Elise Christie is thrilled by making history at this month’s World Short Track Speed Skating Championships but says she will only be content once she becomes world champion.The Sky Academy Sports Scholar became the first British female to finish on the overall podium after winning 1000m silver and bronze in both the 1500m and the 3000m in Seoul last week to secure an overall world ranking of third.Id never managed to get on the overall podium before, Christie told Sky Sports News HQ. Its the first time a female has ever done that for Great Britain so Im really happy with that but until you win everything there is always going to be a little bit of disappointment.I really wanted to be world champion overall, it didnt happen, but Im ready to come back fighting and Im hoping next year I can dominate a bit more. Christie won silver in the 1000m in Seoul I have always been a bit scared of setting big targets but this was the first year I said I wanted to be world champion. Next year it will be the same and I will be more focused on the World Championships and not so much the Europeans.Thats my dream and that will help going into the 2018 Winter Olympics with a lot more confidence. Its my dream to become world champion. Every day I think about it.The 25-year-old Scot was unable to make the finals of the 500m after finishing third in her quarter-final and almost failed to medal in the 1500m after taking evasive action to prevent a collision when other skaters fell in front of her. Christie says some of her competitors are very physical I got a bump with three laps to go in the 1500m and ended up in fifth and had to overtake a few people to get near the front but I really messed up the 500m, said Christie who won four European gold medals earlier this year.It can get really physical out there and some of the girls are so physical. I think Im one of the softer ones who tries to stay away from the bumps but it does get quite aggressive and you can get punched in the face while youre skating round.You just dont know whats going to happen. You can be travelling round at 30mph and someone just crashes into you and you have to try and stay on your feet when all you can think about is getting over the line first.But you just have to get on with it and use the adrenaline you get from racing.Also See:SportsWomenLatest Show NewsLatest NewsSportsWomen Videoπαπουτσια NMD .

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time.WASHINGTON -- Billionaire Florida hockey team owner Vincent Viola is known more for his business success and sports deals than his military acumen. But the 1977 West Point graduate, President-elect Donald Trumps choice for Army secretary, has maintained his service ties since leaving active duty.While he has steadily built a financial empire -- listed 374th on Forbes Magazines top 400 with a net worth of $1.8 billion -- he also has poured money and time into the military academy. Viola was a key donor for the creation of West Points Combating Terrorism Center and has supported cadet programs.And as owner of the National Hockey Leagues Florida Panthers, he has sent the team to West Point for training, and there are several West Point graduates and military veterans working in the front office.If he is confirmed by the Senate, Viola will take over as civilian head of an Army struggling to recoup and recapitalize after more than 15 years at war. Under current plans, the Army would continue to downsize from a high of about 570,000 at the peak of the Iraq war, to 450,000 by 2019.Legislation not yet finalized for the next budget year would stall that drawdown at 476,000 soldiers, which is a bit higher than the current size of about 470,000.As secretary, Viola would be responsible for all management, budget, acquisition, personnel and base issues for a vast network of about 150 permanent installations around the world. Army soldiers are deployed in about 140 countries.Viola would replace Eric Fanning, who became secretary this year after spending the last eight years in various leadership positions across the Army, Navy, Air Force and Defense Department, including acting secretary of two services and chief of staff for DDefense Secretary Ash Carter.dddddddddddd Fannings tenure gave him extensive experience navigating the enormous and complicated Pentagon administrative and fiscal infrastructure -- a key challenge for any successor.A Brooklyn native, Viola paid $250 million for the Florida Panthers and is a past chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange.He is founder of several businesses, including Virtu Financial, an electronic trading firm. Viola has a stake in the company worth $1.5 billion, based on figures the firm sent in April to regulators.Virtu is a so-called market maker, acting as a middle man selling stocks and other assets to people who want to buy them and buying from people who want to sell.The company operates in the somewhat controversial high-speed trading industry in which firms use super-fast computers and algorithms to spot fleeting opportunities in stock and bond markets. The practice accounts for most stock trading during the day. Advocates say it provides more trading opportunities. Critics say it gives an unfair advantage to a few firms, and could lead to more spikes and plunges in prices.In a statement Monday, President-elect Donald Trump praised Viola, whose father came to the U.S. from Italy, as living proof of the American dream and someone who has long been engaged with national security issues.Violas was the first member of his family to attend college. He trained as an Airborne Ranger infantry officer and served in the 101st Airborne Division. He is a 1983 graduate of New York Law School.---Associated Press Writer Bernard Condon in New York contributed to this report. ' ' '
