New Zealand's skeleton racer Toinette Stoddard is in 17th after her first two Winter Olympic runs at the Whistler sliding centre.

Stoddard is 3.8 seconds behind the fastest racer, Amy Williams of Great Britain, with a combined time of 1:51.78.

She'll race in the final two heats tomorrow afternoon, and the athlete with the lowest combined time over all four runs will win gold.
