Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Jolanda Neff: Thank you! My hair is naturally curled and so I don’t do anything to make it curly. The colour is originally darker but for summer I found it nice to lighten it up a bit. Since I train every day in the mud and sweat, I wash my hair daily. This is not ideal, but there is no other option, and so it is important to treat it very well and put a caring lotion on it every day. I have a great oil which makes it nice and shiny after the wash! My skin does get tanned very quickly, but unfortunately I am so often in a cycling kit that the nice tan stops where my cycling pants start….! Check my facebook profile, there you will find some funny pictures! It is for sure not ideal to have a tan like this to go to the beach, but I hardly ever find time to lay there anywhere. I treat my skin with a body lotion after showering and use a peeling ever now and then to make the skin soft.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: How did you feel before and after your memorable win at MTB XCO World Cup Championship?
Ms. Jolanda Neff: I knew it was possible to do something really special and memorable on that day since no cyclist has ever before won the u23 championships for 3 times. So there was some pressure but also excitement. I was over the moon when I crossed the finish line and won the gold medal!
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us more about 2012 ‘your dream season’, were you won the Swiss, European and world title in your first year at the U23 and three World Cups. You made the number one team in the world, the Giant Pro XC team, signing a professional contract and was able to participate in elite sports development program of the Swiss army?
Ms. Jolanda Neff: 2012 was kind of the “key year” of my life because that’s where I decided – after my stellar season – to really go for the sport and give it my all. I said no to a university career and took the chance and signed with the best team of the world. Also the opportunity to train with the swiss army made a big difference!
