Taylor Lawrence admitted he loved 'every single moment' of his first Winter Olympics experience in Beijing.

Lawrence, from Thanet, was part of Team GB's four-man bobsleigh team alongside pilot Brad Hall, Greg Cackett and Nick Gleeson that came sixth after four runs.

"I've just enjoyed absolutely every single moment of it," said the 25-year-old.

"Along the years I've learnt to become a better brakeman, team-mate, athlete and just a better person all round.

"Having all these guys supporting me and everyone back home, it has been absolutely unbelievable."

Team GB were sitting sixth after the first two runs and were unable to close the gap on the podium places on the following day.

Hall believes the group has much more room to grow.

"It would be great to keep going because there's so much potential left in this squad," said Hall.

"I believe if we get the backing that we need then the sky's the limit and we will be consistently up there in the medals again.

"We've got to wait and see what happens and I would love to take this team to new heights in the next few years.

"It has been a long three or four years. A lot of people have helped us out along the way which we are eternally grateful for and hopefully we made them all proud.

"The lads have been on a journey and hopefully this isn't the end of it."

He added: "We can hold our heads up high and know that our performance was good, we did the best we can and sixth place for a small nation that doesn't have its own ice track or much funding is definitely something to be very proud of."
