Countably Compact Metric Space is Sequentially Compact

Theorem

Let $M$ be a countably compact metric space.


Then $M$ is sequentially compact.


Proof

This follows directly from the results:

Metric Space is First-Countable
Countably Compact First-Countable Space is Sequentially Compact

$\blacksquare$
