Ted-Jan Bloemen, Hayden Mayeur and Kaleb Muller crossed the line with a time of 3:37.219 good enough for team pursuit gold Friday at the Four Continents Championships in Calgary.

Christ also added a second podium finish — a bronze medal in the women's 1,000-metre event. She posted a time of 1:16.51, beating out Kazakhstan's Yekaterina Aidov (1:15.49) and Yu-Ting Huang of Taiwan (1:14.46).

Christ, a two-time Olympian, finished the three-day competition with four medals. She also won gold in the women's 1,500 and a bronze in the team sprint.

"I feel really good," said Christ. "Medals aside, I've started feeling like myself again this week. I'm actually able to transfer the technical advice that I'm getting in practice into my racing. It's going really well and that's showing up in my times."
