Career

Rosanna Crawford started cross-country skiing at the age of five following her sister. When she was ten, she also started biathlon. She lives in her hometown, where she also trains in the national biathlon training center. She starts for Canmore Nordic Ski Club and is trained by Matthias Ahrens and Geret Coyne . She competed successfully nationally since 2005. Crawford won silver in the sprint and bronze in the mass start at their first Canadian Junior Championships in Edmonton . In North Battleford , she won the West Canadian Sprint and Mass Start Champion titles and finished second overall in the Alberta Calforex Cup Series . At the Alberta Championships in Fort McMurray , she won the sprint title and came third in the super sprint. In 2006 she repeated winning the double title at the Western Canadian Championships. She was also able to win her first titles in the national junior title fights with the title in the sprint, second place in individual and pursuit as well as winning the combined ranking.

Crawford has competed internationally since 2008. At the Junior World Championships in Ruhpolding a 16th place in the pursuit was the best result, at the Junior European Championships shortly afterwards in Nové Město na Moravě rank 29 in the individual. In Cesana San Sicario she made her debut in the Junior European Cup towards the end of the season and was 16th in the sprint and 12th in the pursuit. A little later she was eighth in the pursuit for the first time in the top ten. Crawford is part of the Canadian perspective squad, which is to be specifically developed in view of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver . To support this goal, she participated in the Bold Beautiful Biathlon project , with which she and her fellow campaigners Zina Kocher , Sandra Keith , Megan Imrie and Megan Tandy want to alleviate the financial hardship of the Canadian association.

In January 2010 Crawford made her debut in a sprint race in Ruhpolding in the Biathlon World Cup and was 77 with a shooting error. In Antholz , she finished 56th in her best result in the highest racing series. The greatest success so far has been participation in the domestic Olympic Games. Crawford was able to prevail in the qualification for the last free place against Sandra Keith and was used in three races. In the individual she finished 76th, in the sprint she was 72nd and with Kocher, Tandy and Imrie she ran in the relay competition in 15th place. In Hochfilzen, Rosanna Crawford was able to win points in the World Cup for the first time in 24th place in the 2012/2013 season . After she had to wait a long time for her first point to be won, she won points in five consecutive individual races in Hochfilzen and Pokljuka . In the 2013/2014 season , winning points became the norm. At the season finale in Oslo, she missed the leap into the top ten as sprint eleventh by just one place.
