Career[]

Juniors[]

Wranå has skipped the Swedish team in four World Junior Curling Championships, in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018. In 2014, she led her team of Jennie Wåhlin, , Fanny Sjöberg and Almida de Val to a fourth-place finish, after they lost in the bronze medal game to Russia. In 2015, she and teammates Wåhlin, Johanna Heldin, Sjöberg and again finished fourth after this time losing to Switzerland in the bronze medal game. She was back at it in 2017 when her and teammates Wåhlin, de Val and Sjöberg won the gold medal, defeating Scotland's Sophie Jackson in the final, and lost just two round robin games in the process. The next year the same team went undefeated in the round robin, but ended up losing to Canada's Kaitlyn Jones in the final. This team also represented Sweden at the 2017 Winter Universiade, where they took home the bronze medal.

Women's[]

As World Junior champions, Wranå qualified for the 2017 Humpty's Champions Cup, her first Grand Slam event. The team did not qualify for the playoffs but did win one game. The team won their first World Curling Tour event at the 2018 AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic.[4] A month later, they won the Paf Masters Tour.[5] Over the course of the 2018–19 season, Wranå's team played in four slams, failing to qualify in any of the four. They won one game at the 2018 Tour Challenge, one game at the 2018 National, no games at the 2019 Canadian Open and one game at the 2019 Champions Cup. Also during this season, Wranå skipped her team to a gold medal at the 2019 Winter Universiade.[6]

Team Wranå had a successful 2019–20 season, winning two tour events (the Royal LePage Women's Fall Classic and the Paf Masters Tour once again) and finishing second at the Womens Masters Basel and the Glynhill Ladies International.[7][8][9] They played in two slam events, winning one game at both the 2019 Tour Challenge and the 2019 National.[10][11]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Team Wranå only played in one tour event during the abbreviated 2020–21 season. The team competed at the 2020 Women's Masters Basel, where they missed the playoffs with a 1–2 record.[12] In December, they played Team Hasselborg in the Sweden National Challenge, where they won by a score of 17–12.[13] The Swedish Women's Curling Championship was cancelled due to the pandemic, so Team Hasselborg was named as the Swedish Team for the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship.[14] After the season, longtime lead Fanny Sjöberg stepped back from competitive curling and joined the team as their new lead.[15]
