Lina began skiing in her backyard from the moment she could stand, and started competitively racing at 13. She qualified for her first Junior Nationals at age 14, and started biathlon at 16 with Team Soldier Hollow to avoid classic skiing with a back injury. Her dad, John Farra, is her biggest influencer! So far in her career, Lina's favorite venue to race at is Sjusjoen, Norway.

Outside of biathlon, Lina enjoys cooking, writing and knitting.
