Great Britain’s Niall Treacy won 1,000m bronze at the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships.

It is GB’s first podium on the global stage since 2017 and the first medal won in a men’s individual event in 30 years.

The 25-year-old, Team GB’s only short track skater at last month’s Winter Games in Italy where he reached the 1500m final, described his third place in Montreal as the culmination of “years of hard work”.

It came a day after he had finished fifth in the 1,500m, a result he said was “pretty heart-breaking”.

He added: “To finally have one in my favourite distance is just huge. Now I’ll have a World Championship medal for the rest of my life.”

South Korea’s Rim Jong-un took gold ahead of Jens van T Wout of the Netherlands.

Nicky Gooch was the previous British man to win a World Championship medal in an individual short track event with silver in the 1,500m in 1996.
