Emily Dreissigacker (born November 29, 1988[1]) is a former biathlete from Vermont.[2]

Life and career

[edit]

She competed for the United States at the 2018 Winter Olympics. As a teenager, Dreissigacker competed in cross-country skiing before taking up competitive rowing, going on to become a two-time NCAA All-American whilst a student at Dartmouth College, where she graduated with a degree in economics in 2011. Her switch to biathlon came about in 2014, when she injured her finger in an accident, leaving her unable to row for three months. As a result, she took up cross-country skiing again as cross-training.[3][4] She retired from biathlon after the 2019/20 season.[5]

Her father, Dick Dreissigacker, is an Olympic rower; her mother, Judy Geer, is a three time Olympian in rowing; and her maternal aunt, Charlotte Geer, is a two time Olympian and 1984 Olympic silver medalist in single sculling.[3] She is the sister of fellow Olympic biathlete Hannah Dreissigacker.[4]
