Tracy Barnes-Coliander (born April 26, 1982 in Durango ) is a former American biathlete .

Tracy Barnes, twin sister of Lanny Barnes , was a professional biathlete and lives in Durango. She has been involved in the sport since 1998 and has been a member of the US national team since 2003. She is trained by Mikael Löfgren and Per Nilsson, her club was UMFK Bengals . Barnes made her international debut in 2001 at the European Junior Championships in Haute-Maurienne as ninth in the singles and fifth in the relay. At the following Junior World Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk , eighth place with the relay was the best result. In 2002 she competed in the Biathlon World Cup for the first time in Antholz and was 13th in the relay. At the Junior World Championships in Ridnaun in 2002 , she surprisingly won silver with the US relay, which included her sister Lanny and Carolyn Treacy Bramante , behind the German team with Jenny Adler and Ute Niziak . In 2004, Barnes mainly competed in the European Cup and was mostly in midfield.

Barnes had her best weekend in her sport in 2005 in Pokljuka . She finished 25th in both the sprint and the pursuit and got her first World Cup points. Shortly afterwards she also won a super sprint in the European Cup in Gurnigel . In the overall ranking she finished 71st. It was to be her only place in the overall standings. The high point of Barnes' career so far was participating in the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin , where she competed in three races. The best result was a 57th place in the individual. The US-American first took part in biathlon world championships in 2003 in Khanty-Mansiysk . In Siberia, she finished 54th in the sprint and 50th in the pursuit. It was not until 2007 in Antholz that Barnes was able to take part in world championships again. She consistently placed in the top 50 and achieved her best World Championship result with 38th place in the pursuit. The 2008 World Championships in Östersund went less well , with only an 88th place in the individual and 18th place in the relay. Again better rankings enter the biathlete at the Biathlon World Championships 2009 of Pyeongchang . In individual, sprint and pursuit, the results reached in the 50 range.

The 2009/10 season was particularly successful for Barnes-Coliander in North America. In the overall ranking of the Biathlon-NorAm-Cup 2009/10 she was third, she won four races, came second twice and third once. At the 2010 North American Biathlon Championships in Fort Kent , she won the sprint and pursuit titles ahead of the Canadian Claude Godbout, and Susan Dunklee defeated her by 0.2 seconds in the mass start . It was also the US championships , in which Barnes-Coliander won two titles and one runner-up title. In the summer of the year they won in Jericho at the North American Biathlon Rollerski Cup 2010 both titles in sprint and pursuit.

Barnes Colliander waived at the 2014 Winter Olympics in favor of her sister, who had shown better performance over the course of the season but could not take part in all the elimination races due to illness, on the starting place in the team. For this she was awarded the International Fair Play Award from UNESCO . After the season she ended her career. She is married to the biathlon trainer Gary Colliander and had a daughter with him on the last day of 2014.
