Fast and Female founder Chandra Crawford trains solo on her way to Sochi
Fast and Female’s very own Olympic gold medalist, Chandra Crawford made a recent and bold move, declining her nomination within the 2013-2014 Canadian National Ski Team. She will instead drive forward on her own, aiming for another podium win at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Chandra’s strength is at the 1.1km sprint, which heavily relies on power and strength. Going on her own means that she will be training through her own schedule and structure.  This takes a lot of determination and strength, both mentally and physically.

Chandra has recently joined Fast and Female’s very own Alana Thomas, Amanda Ammar and Zoe Roy in what is currently the most daring and exciting renegade training group; Team Ninja. The goal for this team of ambitious women is to train hard aiming to get to Sochi, be competitive and most of all, have fun! All women are extremely focused and dedicated to help one another succeed.

We wish these inspiring girls all the best throughout the year and will be cheering for you all the way! Follow the latest advancements and news on Team Ninja here.
