Rasmus WRANAA

SIBLING
Partnered with his sister Isabella in late 2020, in order to try and qualify for the mixed doubles at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. They won their first tour event in Bern in October (previously won a bronze medal together at 2016 Swedish Championships). The Olympic spot eventually went to Oskar Eriksson (Rasmus' teammate) and Almida de Val (Isabella's third). "It's fun to compete with my sister. We have known each other for a long time and played a little together before. When we were a little younger, we could get a little angry at each other, but I think both have matured a little since then." (svt.se, 13 Oct 2020; worldcurling.org, 2021)

FAMILY GOLD... ALMOST
In 2017, the Wranaa family had the opportunity to become triple gold medallists. Fathers Mats, won the World Senior Championship and sister Isabella had won the World Juniors. Rasmus fell just short, as Team Edin lost 4-2 to Canada's Team Gushue in the gold medal match in Edmonton. Rasmus' 73% the lowest of all competitors in the match (he threw 85% in the round robin, fourth highest amongst seconds).

TEAM EDIN
Joined Team Edin in June 2016 after Kristian Linstrom underwent shoulder surgery and required a long rehabilitation period. " I was fantastically happy, of course. This opens up completely new opportunities for me as a curling player and it will be an exciting challenge to be able to play at the very highest international level." (mynewsdesk.com, 3 Jun 2016)
