Career

Krusta was the second for the Latvian team at the 2010 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Swift Current, Canada.[1] The team finished in last with a 1–10 record. She also represented Latvia at the 2013 World Women's Curling Championship at home in Riga, Latvia, finishing again in the last place with a 1–10 record. The team qualified for the 2019 World Women's Curling Championship after posting an impressive 4–5 record at the 2018 European Curling Championships which included defeating higher-ranked Scotland's Eve Muirhead. The team did not have the same success at the World's as they did at the Europeans, finishing once again in last with a 1–11 record.

She currently serves as one of the coaches of the Latvian junior women's team.[2]
