BIRTHDAY IN BASEL, SWITZERLAND

PLAY

It all began with my brother. Driving around the kitchen table with a bobby car.

FIRST TRIATHLON

Eventually my endless need for movement brought me to a triathlon club. 

INTERNATIONAL RACING & UNI UK

I raced international ITU triathlon competitions as a Junior and U23. Combining my Bachelors degree in International Relations in Birmingham (UK) with competing for the University’s High Performance Triathlon Team.  

INJURY & LIFE 

A foot injury sidelined me for two years, so I stepped away from elite sports, explored Europe, pursued internships and political projects, and completed my master’s in International Law. 

FIRST TRACK CYCLING TRAINING

At 24, an invite to a national team track session led me to the track, and after just five minutes, I knew I had found my true sport.

NATIONAL TEAM

Two months later, I joined the national team’s training program.

FIRST TRACK RACE & WORLD CUP

Six months after my track initiation, I rode my first track race, followed by a World Cup in St. Petersburg, where we won a Bronze Medal for Switzerland in the Team Pursuit.

WORLD & EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

Soon after I started at my first European and World Track Championships in the Individual and Team Pursuit.

That’s how it all began. 

PARIS?

In 2024 I raced at the European Track Championships and was among the contenders for the Paris Olympic Games. Despite my greatest efforts I was not selected. That was tough moment, but I decided to refocus.

FIRST INTERNATIONAL ROAD SEASON

I rode my first international road season in 2024 with the Italian continental team Bepink Bongioanni. I quit my job to be able to live and train as a professional cyclist. 

TRACK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

At the Track World Championships in Copenhagen, I contributed to a great 6th place in the team pursuit, very narrowly missing out on a Swiss record. I also rode the Scratch race, where I was 19th. 

UCI TRACK CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Soon after World’s I got invited to the prestigious event series of the UCI Track Champions League. There I rode one of my best ever results in an individual event, coming 3rd in the Scratch in London. 

VIRUS & NON-SELECTION

Life isn’t a smooth ride. I got ill three times in the crucial months of preparation for the Track European Championships. This is why I did not race at this year’s European Track Championships.
