Who is Tiffany Cromwell?

Cromwell is an Australian racing cyclist who will represent her country in the upcoming Olympics. Being a world class athlete at her level brings her own areas of stress. However, she attributes her success to her “sedentary” private life. “I’m more settled in my private life. I’ve been in a relationship for a year and a half now and things like that… He’s also an athlete and a top player so it’s important to have that kind of mutual support for one another. “

She explains the positive influence that Bottas had on her life. Tiffany spent the holidays with him in Finland and explored the terrain while training. She adds, “He’s been a big part of keeping me calm, not stressing out, and making sure I do little things right.”

Support from Valtteri Bottas

The couple seem to be mutually supportive. Bottas shares the same feeling of security as she does. Cromwell can often be seen on the racetracks cheering the Finn on. The only time you see Bottas with a smile on his face is when he’s on the podium with champagne and when he’s with Cromwell. It’s nice to see Bottas get his energy from someone who works as hard as he does.
