Christine is a PT5 classification for athletes with a visual impairment, and will be the first visually impaired Canadian ever to be at the start line in para-triathlon at a Paralympic Games. Competing with her guide, Sasha Boulton, the para-triathlon consists of a 750m swim, 20km bike and a 5km run.
