life and career

Annelies Cook studied at the University of Utah and started for the University Of Utah SKI team there . She has been skiing since she was a child. Your trainers are Eli Brown and Patrick Coffey. Cook contested her first international biathlon race in 2002 as part of the Junior World Championships in Ridnaun . With places 16 in the individual, 15 in the sprint, 19 in the pursuit and five in the relay, she achieved consistently good results. Things went less well in Kościelisko the following year , when she only achieved results between 36 and 40 in the individual races and was seventh in the relay. The 2004 Junior World Championships in Haute-Maurienne was mixed. In the individual she came in 15th place, in sprint and pursuit she placed over 40th place. In 2005 she again achieved results between 29 and 33 in Kontiolahti. In Ridnaun, Cook also competed in her only race in the context of the Biathlon European Cup in 2006 , where she achieved good results with 13th place in the individual and 19th place in the sprint. Cook can celebrate greater successes at national and North American levels. At the Biathlon North American Championships in Itasca in 2008 , she won the sprint title and was also second behind Yekaterina Vinogradova in the mass start. The 2009 US Championships held in Fort Kent gave Cook a narrowly missed medal when she finished fourth in the sprint. She then won bronze medals in the pursuit and in the mass start.

The 2009/10 season was also successful for Cook. As part of the Biathlon NorAm Cup 2009/10 , she won two races and was third three times. She finished fourth in the overall standings. At the North American Championships 2010 in Fort Kent , Cook won the bronze medals behind Tracy Barnes-Coliander and Claude Godbout in the pursuit after finishing fourth in the sprint and behind Susan Dunklee and Barnes-Coliander in the mass start. It was at the same time the US championships for which the results of the Canadian runners were removed from the rating. Here Cook was third in the sprint and mass start and second in the pursuit race. In 2010 she made her debut in the Biathlon World Cup in Pokljuka and finished eleventh in the mixed relay race alongside Sara Studebaker , Lowell Bailey and Leif Nordgren . In the sprint she came in 59th place. Cook improved his best performance at the Biathlon World Championships 2011 in Khanty-Mansiysk by two places to 57th place in the sprint. In addition, she was lapped in the pursuit race, 13th with the relay and 67th in the sprint race. In 2012 , Cook won World Cup points for the first time as 33rd in a sprint at Holmenkollen in Oslo .

After the 2015/16 season , Annelies Cook ended her active biathlon career. She contested her last international race on March 9, 2016 at the Biathlon World Championships 2016 at Holmenkollen .

In cross-country skiing, Cook ran her first race in 2003, but more did not follow until 2006. Especially in races of the NorAm Cup, the US Super Tour and FIS races, she was able to place well again and again, but without ever being in the top ranks to prove.

After her career as a competitive athlete, Annelies Cook began training at the nursing school of the Asklepios City Clinic in Bad Tölz , which she left in 2019 as a qualified nurse . In the following year she was awarded the state prize as one of the best of the year with an overall grade of 1.33.
