biography
Crawford made it to the national team at the age of 16. In the following year she traveled to the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble as a substitute runner , but was not used there. As a result, she established herself in the World Cup, especially in slalom and downhill skiing, in the extended top group. Between 1969 and 1974 she was placed in the top ten a total of 23 times. However, she mostly missed podium positions. In January 1973 she achieved the first and only podium finish of her World Cup career with third place in the Grindelwald slalom . In 1971 she became Canadian downhill champion.
Nevertheless, Crawford was a constant top runner in international competitions. At the 1970 World Cup in Val Gardena , she finished fourth in the downhill. In 1972 she took part in the Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo for the second time and again reached fourth place in slalom. Finally she finished 9th in giant slalom and downhill at the 1974 World Championships in St. Moritz . With 12th place in slalom, she was fourth in the combined ranking. At the end of the 1973/74 season she ended her sporting career.
Her niece Candace Crawford and her nephew James Crawford are also ski racers.
