Japan sets women’s team pursuit record at speedskating World Cup event
CALGARY — Kali Christ looked to be back in top form Saturday.
The Regina speedskater bounced back from a hip injury sustained last January to win bronze in the women’s team pursuit with Ottawa skaters Ivanie Blondin and Isabelle Weidemann at the Olympic Oval.
“It’s really exciting for me,” Christ said. “It’s my first team pursuit in a couple years. Just to know the team trusted me to be out there … was really awesome.
“I’ve had a lot of people telling me I’m skating like I used to. That’s really encouraging.”
