Top Swiss athlete talks politics...

Triathon champion Magali Di Marco-Messmer says she abhors political games. And she cannot understand why many of her fellow citizens defend Swiss banking secrecy.

 In an interview with swissinfo.ch the athlete reveals a commitment not only to her lifelong passion, sport, but also to defending her political ideas.

Elections are rarely a topic for top Swiss athletes, who tend to stay out of politics. Di Marco-Messmer is the exception to the rule.

Although close to 40, she has no intention of hanging up her running shoes yet. Pursuing her quest for extreme effort and performance, the bronze medal winner in the triathlon at the Sydney Games in 2000 has taken up a new challenge: running. Full interview...
