Jennifer Hohl (born February 3, 1986 in Marbach, St. Gallen) is a retired Swiss professional road cyclist.[1] She represented her nation Switzerland at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and later earned three Swiss national championship titles in the women's elite road race (2008, 2009, and 2012).[2] Before retiring to focus primarily on her family life and business career, Hohl rode for three seasons on the Bigla Cycling Team since 2006, followed by her short, annual stints on Germany's Noris Cycling and Italy's Mcipollini–Giordana and Faren–Honda Team.[3][4]
Hohl qualified for the Swiss squad in the women's road race at the 2008 Summer Olympics by receiving one of the nation's three available berths from the UCI World Cup.[5] Passing through the 102.6-km mark, Hohl fell into the ground after crashing her bike in a heavy collision against a small group of riders, and subsequently, abandoned her race before reaching the 3:03-barrier.[6][7][8]
