Bern Swiss Sportswoman of the Year: Xena

Caroline Steffen, our Xena, and Fabian Cancellara were just named the Bern Sportspeople of the year for 2010/11. This is an amazing honor for Caroline who has had a tremendous string of results over the last two years culminating with an unbeaten string of wins since March 2011.  Representing Switzerland last year, Caroline’s 2010 was highlighted with her 2^nd place at the Kona Ironman World Championships where she surprised many with her impressive race.  Caroline has only improved on her success from 2010 building into 2011.  Finishing in first place in every race this year except one where she finished in 2^nd place to the defending champion at Abu Dhabi.  With this impressive momentum, Caroline Steffen of teamTBB will be a force to be reckoned with on the lava fields at the Kona World Championships next month!
