SNOWBOARD HALFPIPE:Triple Olympian Holly Crawford made her Games debut at the age of 22 at the Torino Winter Olympics in 2006, finishing 18th in the Snowboard Halfpipe.

Four years on, Crawford jumped up the standings, finishing eighth in the same event at the Vancouver 2010 Games. Unfortunately she could not improve on that result at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, where she competed under an injury cloud and finished 26th. 

At the 2017 World Championships in Sierra Nevada, Crawford was the top ranked Australian female, finishing 10^th overall.

Now the 33-year-old is working towards qualifying for her fourth Games at PyeongChang 2018.

Here are seven fun facts you didn’t know about the Aussie Olympic Snowboard Halfpipe rider.

1. I cook a mean poached egg/breakfast in general!

2. I originally wanted to be a ski racer, all I ever wanted was a spyder race suit!

3. I have an Irish wolfhound-cross that can be a little slow sometimes (when suits really).

4. I actually hate the cold and really wish I’d been a surfer or a bikini model or just something that involves hot weather and the beach (not cold weather and the mountains!)
