Zina Kocher has been involved in biathlon since 1998 . In the World Cup she made her debut in 2002 at the fourth station of the year, Oberhof . She collected her first points as 26th in a single race in 2003 in Osrblie . In the sprint at the same World Cup she was in the top 10 for the first time. In the next two years she could not repeat these good results, it was only in 2005 that she was able to place again in the top 20 of the World Cup.

Since then she has been regularly in the points and with a third place at the season opener of the 2006/07 season in Östersund reached a top rank for the first time and thus the breakthrough into the world elite. After Myriam Bédard, she is only the second Canadian biathlete to have achieved this.

Her best result was 65th place in the sprint. With the relay she finished 15th.
