Notes

Tokyo 2020, cycling suit worn by Jolanda NEFF (SUI), Olympic cross-country champion. After suffering a broken hand in the spring, which prevented her from training for six weeks, Jolanda Neff won her first-ever Olympic medal in Tokyo – and it was gold. «I t’s an incredible story,» she said. “I felt almost inspired. It was a perfect, fluid, faultless race, in the toughest possible conditions. We only had an hour to train and prepare on a circuit that had been affected by the morning rain. We had to learn quickly, pick out new routes and get used to the wet terrain. » Donated by the athlete
