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).

Season wrap up

23 races
7 countries 
4 months on the road

This was one of my most successful season ever. Where I was on the World Cup for most of the season and had some personal best's at many races. By the end of the season I felt stronger than I ever have! Unfortunately I got sick right before Canadian Champs and had to miss them, but over all it was a great winter! 
I would like to thank Sunshine Village for their support and to my family for always being there for me!


My race season is officially over, but winter seems to be far from over here in Canmore! Skiing is amazing at the Nordic Centre, with all the trails is excellent condition and Sunshine Village has great skiing/riding as well. Monday Brendan and I take off for Belize for 9 days to soak up some sun. Enjoy the snow here in Canmore!
