That saw her secure an overall world ranking of third, but despite re-writing the history books Christie insists she is in no mood to slow down.
Fresh from winning the overall title at the 2015 European Championships – as well as gold in the 500m, 1000m and 1500m – Christie arrived in South Korea full of confidence.
And that showed as she kicked her world tilt off with a third-place finish in the 1500m before adding 1000m silver and 3000m bronze.

That meant she finished third overall, but despite the milestone season the Scot insists she is now simply hungrier for more.
“With this being the first time I have managed to get on the World Championship podium I am really happy with how it went, it could have gone a lot worse!” Christie said. “But I really see this as a stepping stone and it is great to have done it but I want to be winning golds and becoming world champion.
“It took me a long time to become European champion and I’ve done that now and the next step is to become world champion.
“While it was good to get the medals I did I was a little bit disappointed with how I did in my favoured events as I failed to medal there. “So there are definitely still improvements that could be made and I will be looking at what I can improve on over the next two years for the Olympics.”
It is no surprise that Christie is already turning her attentions to Pyeongchang with her Sochi 2014 experience leaving a bad taste in her mouth.
She was disqualified in both the 500m and 1500m finals before being penalised in her 1000m semi-final.
Christie had to keep her wits about her at this year’s World Championships too as the 25-year-old had to take evasive action in the 1500m final to prevent a collision when other skaters fell in front of her.
But she is determined to leave nothing to chance in two years time.
“I think I have a bit of work to do when it comes to tactics and that is what I will be working on between now and the Games,” she added.
“It is difficult in this sport because one thing can happen in a race and then everything you have worked for in the previous four years will go up in smoke.
“So there are other milestones by which you can judge yourself but the pinnacle of any sport really is the Olympics and that is what I am working towards.”
Elsewhere at the World Championships, Jack Whelbourne went out in the 1000m quarter-finals but finished ninth overall after placing fifth in the 500m and sixth in the 1500m on Saturday.
Charlotte Gilmartin failed to qualify for the 1000m but a sixth place in the 500m and fourth in the 1500m left her tenth overall.
The team's overall performance means Great Britain will now qualify for three ladies positions at next year's World Championships and Christie is delighted with the shape the squad finds itself in.
“The GB team as a whole has come a long way and this was the most successful World Championships we have had in a long time in terms of the team,” Christie said.
“There have been a lot of changes to the team this year and to see them work out is a big positive and it bodes well for the future.”
