Christie trained as a doctor at King's College, and was a member of Thames Rowing Club. In the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, he was a member of the coxless fours crew.[1] In 1949 he won the Silver Goblets at Henley, partnering Tony Butcher.[2] He also won the Wyfold in 1946 for Kings College London, and the Grand and the Stewards in 1948 for Thames Rowing Club.

Christie qualified as a doctor in 1950 and spent time at Westminster Hospital and St Thomas’s Hospital training in anaesthetics.[3] He won Silver Goblets at Henley again in 1952 representing Westminster Hospital and partnering H C I Baywater. At the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games he won silver medal in the coxless pairs partnering Nicholas Clack.
