Christie, who suffered a disastrous outing at the Winter Olympic Games in 2014 in the Russian city, was the standout performer during the event as she secured victory in all of her races to assert her dominance as the top women’s European speed skater.

The 25-year-old, who defended her 500m and 1,500m titles yesterday, finished on a commanding total of 112 points in the overall classification ahead of teammate Charlotte Gilmartin, winner of the 3,000m race in 5:40.163.

Suzanne Schulting of The Netherlands claimed bronze as she was third on the leaderboard.

The Briton ensured she would complete a dominant weekend by clocking 1:32.529 in the final of the 1,000m having skated to comfortable wins in her heat and semi-final races.

Russia’s Semion Elistratov, Olympic gold medallist over 1,500m and double European champion in 2014, secured the men’s overall crown on 91 points ahead of Hungary’s Sándor Liu Shaolin and France’s Vincent Jeanne, who were second and third respectively.

Jeanne crept in to bronze medal position after he won the 3,000m event in 4:58.018 ahead of countryman Sebastian Lepape and Bartosz Konopko.

Dutchman Sjinkie Knegt, the reigning world overall and 3,000m world champion who came into the event as one of the favourites, finished in a disappointing fourth place despite clinching the 500m title yesterday.

Elistratov wrapped up gold in the 1,000m in a time of 1:26.493 on his way to a first-ever overall European title.

The Netherlands ended the event in the 2014 Winter Olympic host city by reigning supreme in both the men’s 5,000m and women’s 3,000m relays.

They clocked 4:12.556 to finish ahead of Russia and Italy, who were second and third respectively, to claim gold in the women’s 3,000m event before their men followed suit, coming home in a time of 7:12.495.

That proved enough to beat Hungary, who took home silver, while Britain added another medal to their haul with bronze.
