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 VideoCheap Red Sox Jerseys .
