Who am I?

My name is Rosanna Crawford, I was born and raised in Canmore, AB and started cross country skiing by the time I could walk! At the age of 10 I started biathlon and fell in love! Something about the challenge of skiing and shooting really stuck with me and being able to hang out with your friends wasn't too bad either! At 14 I got to compete in my first National Champs and got a taste of what it was like to race on a bigger scale! By 16 I was on the National team and trying to make international teams. In 2008 I competed in my first World Youth and Junior Championships in Ruhpolding, Germany. That was when I got hooked!
I train full time out of Canmore and spend my winters racing all over Canada and Europe. Follow along as I compete and train all around the World!
It is here that I hope to keep you up to date on my training and racing. I would not be able to do what I love without the support of my family and sponsors, so a big shout out to you guys!
Now what is biathlon you might ask. Biathlon combines the physical exertion of cross country skiing and the challenge of rifle marksmanship. Skiing is always skate technique and shooting is either laying down on your stomach (prone) or standing up (standing).

Italia

We are now in beautiful Dobbiaco, Italy, where my days have been filled with glorious skis, delicious food and lots of sunshine! Tomorrow Melanie and I will drive to Ridnaun (about 1.5hrs from here) and meet up with the rest of the IBU team, Pat Cote, Tyson Smith, Joel Pacas, Claude Godbout and Emma Lodge. The first race will be a 15km Individual on Tuesday. Should be fun!
Here are some photos from the past couple days.



Ciao
Rosanna
