Strength: The mindset
I am not the best I can be. Not yet.
The victory in Rio de Janeiro might have come as a surprise to the general public, but not to anyone who knows Jenny or keeps track of the mountain bike circus. Her physical abilities are only surpassed by her iron will and work ethics. She spends six months with her team in Switzerland, six months at her home in Falun where her family lives.
Be true to yourself
Jenny said that a lot of people think that mountain bike is not a discipline for women because it requires a toughness they don’t expect to find in women. She loves to prove them wrong. You can paint your nails pink and still be a fast runner. Jenny has that side too, the one who likes to shop and fix herself up after a day on the bike. But she doesn’t care about other people’s opinion, she tries to stay true to herself.
The right kind of will
People say that she’s a talent, that she’s had an easy time learning and that she’s been good at the things she has tried, whether it was soccer or flute. She said that she doesn’t know if you are born with that talent or if it’s the result of having the right kind of mindset, but she’s convinced that her achievements are connected to her goals.
