An injury to Holly Crawford has marred the start of the 2008/2009 World Cup season for Australia’s snowboard halfpipe team. Competing in Cardrona, New Zealand, Crawford was unable to make it past the qualifying round after a fall in training aggravated a pre-existing bulging disc problem in her back.
