How long have you been cycling for?

Nearly 8 years.

Journey into Cycling:

I started riding around my birthday in 2015, inspired by my older brother, Lwando Maseti. Watching one of his races sparked an instant love for the sport. Little did I know that this passion would lead me to represent my country on the world stage.

From my first South African title to my first African title, and now competing in the elite women’s category, the journey has been incredible. If someone had told me two years ago that I would qualify as an Olympian, I wouldn’t have believed it. It’s surreal to think that all the years of dedication, blood, sweat, and tears have brought me to this moment.

What does it mean to represent SA at the Olympic Games?

Representing South Africa at the Olympic Games is an honor that still needs time to sink in. I am super excited and proud to carry the hopes of my country on my shoulders. The journey has been tough, but every challenge has been worth it. I’m looking forward to giving my best on the world stage!
