Emily Nishikawa is so on a roll that she's likely to receive a medal for walking down the street.

The 21 year old won her third medal in three races today with a silver in the 10-kilometre classic at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax, N.S.

British Columbia's Alysson Marshall took gold in 29 minutes, 32.30 seconds, Nishikawa got silver with a time of 29:34.60 and Andrea Lee of B.C. earned bronze in 29:35.40.

Yukoner Janelle Greer finished sixth with a time of 3:16.00 while teammate Dahria Beatty took seventh in 30:19.10.

Yukoners Kendra Murray finished 19th (32:04.10) and Heidi Brook finished 25th (34:26.60).

Nishikawa is all but running out of reactions to her medal-winning performances.

We all are, said Claude Chabot, executive director of the Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club.

"We're running out of things to say,” he laughed. "She is just coming on gangbusters lately. Three medals in three races is pretty impressive at a Canada Winter Games. The rest of the team is pretty strong as well, so it's looking good for the relay on Saturday.”

Nishikawa won gold in the 7.5 km free on Monday and followed that performance with a bronze in the 1000-metre sprint event on Tuesday.

"I'm super happy to be on the podium again today and win another medal – it's pretty cool,” Nishikawa said.

"I pushed as hard as I could. I didn't quite have enough to win gold today, but I'm still happy to be on the podium.”

Nishikawa, who trains at the Alberta World Cup Academy in Canmore, has been battling Marshall and Alberta's Heidi Widmer for top podium spots all week.

Marshall won silver in both the 7.5 km on Monday and 1000 m on Tuesday. Widmer won bronze in the 7.5 km and gold in the 1000 m before finishing 12th today in 30:51.20.

"Definitely in the sprint race I could have done better,” Nishikawa said of Tuesday's event.

"And today also, it was pretty tight at the line, but I just didn't have enough. I was definitely hoping for more, but I'm still very happy.”

She has single-handedly won more than half of the Yukon's five medals at this year's Canada Games.

The Yukon is tied for eighth with Newfoundland and Labrador.

Quebec is first with 99 medals, Ontario is second with 73 and British Columbia is third with 68.

Host Nova Scotia is in ninth place with four medals.

Team Yukon's female cross country team has another shot at a medal during Saturday's 4 x 3.75km relay.

"We're super excited for the relay,” Nishikawa said.

Rounding out the men's field in today's 15 km classic race for the Yukon were David Greer in eighth (38:51.20), Ray Sabo in 11th (39:25.50), John Parry in 14th (39:37.70), Colin Abbott in 24th (41:30.30) and Knute Johnsgaard in 25th (42:19.10).
