World champion Crawford hungry for more success at alpine worlds after Kitzbuhel win

World Cup Champion Jack Crawford is back on the slopes at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships this month, but he's staying level-headed despite his recent historic victory in Kitzbuhel.

"There's a lot more that I want to accomplish in my career, so being able to take those victories and deal with those emotions is key," Crawford said in an interview with CBC Sports.

"I feel good. The worlds is always an event I can feel pretty comfortable in … anything can happen."

The event comes just after the 27-year-old Crawford became the first Canadian in 42 years to win the World Cup downhill race on the Streif course in Kitzbuhel, Austria, in January.

"It's the Super Bowl of ski racing. It's the race everybody wants to win. It's a race you dream of winning your whole life, so it's worth celebrating," he said. "I can tell you that that's not something that happens year round after every World Cup, that's definitely a one off."

Despite the late night celebrations that ensued after his big win, Crawford anticipates the moment will continue to sink in for years to come.

The Toronto native is set to compete in the super-G and downhill events at the world championships this month, and he plans to use his recent success as fuel.

"I'm just really going to try to re-centre on what makes me good and makes me fast, and hopefully that's enough to bring into worlds and the rest of the season to contend," he said.
