ELISE Christie claimed a second gold medal in two days at the World Short Track Championships in Rotterdam on Sunday.
After winning the women’s 1500 metres final on Saturday, the 26-year-old (right) won in the women’s 1000m. It was the Scot’s second world title, after eight silver and bronze world medals.
She finished ahead of Marianne St-Gelais of Canada and Suzanne Schulting of Holland in third place.
Christie is building for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea after being disqualified from all three of her races at the 2014 Sochi Games.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
