After an excellent prelim where she qualified in 5th position, Canadian rookie Chandra Crawford raced to an amazing 3rd place in today's freestyle sprint in Davos, Switzerland. The race was won by Sweden's Anna Dahlberg ahead of Finland's Virpi Kuitunen. Crawford beat out a host of top Europeans including prelim winner Ella Gjoemle of Norway, last year's World Champion Emelie Oehrstig of Sweden, super-strong veterans Manuela Henkel (Germany) and Hilde Pederson (Norway), Olympic sprint medalist Evi Sachenbacher (Germany) and many other top skiers including Crawford's own teammates Beckie Scott and Sara Renner.
