In 2012, Shumakovitch showed that homologically thin links have only Z2-torsion in Khovanov homology. This was accomplished by utilizing a connection between the Bockstein and Turner spectral sequences. We show that similar ideas can be used to prove that 3-strand torus links have only Z2-torsion in Khovanov homology.
