The Ukrainian-born figure skater goes into the event in top form after winning gold in the 3,000m and bronze in the 1,500m at the European Championships last month.

Although the longer distance is not an Olympic event, Bykanov insists “a medal is a realistic possibility” when the competition gets under way in Pyeongchang.

Bykanov said: “I’ve gained a lot of experience at the highest level and I feel ready to go up against the best in the world.”
