”Competing at my second Olympic Winter Games is a dream come true, and after overcoming a difficult year of injury, this achievement feels even more special,” said Smeding, 27.

“I’m incredibly excited to compete against the world’s best on the Olympic stage once again and to show myself, and everyone who has supported me, what I’m capable of.”

Eve Muirhead, Team GB chef de mission, added: “The road to a second Games isn’t a straight line for any athlete, but the way Ellia has rebuilt to reach this moment is a testament to her character.”

Team GB are yet to win a Winter Olympic medal in speed skating.

In Italy, Smeding will be joined by short track skater Niall Treacy, who will compete in the men’s 500m, 1000m, and 1,500m.
