Life
Jochemsen was born in 1985 in the African city of Manzini and some of her early life was spent in Finland and the USA. One of her legs was not complete when she was born. With her father's support she took to skiing, when she was seven. She had a professional coach and when she was 23 she took part in her first competition. She competed in the downhill, but was unable to complete the race. Two days later, she took part in the Super-G, where she finished in 6th place. The next day, she failed to finish the first run of the Super combined. There were five Dutch athletes at 2018 Winter Paralympics and she was one of them. She came 6th, again, in the Women's Super-G Standing. By 2018, she had a bronze medal and she had won a World Cup downhill and she decided to stop competing. She faced what had been a difficult transition for other athletes. She was supported by an organisation named Athlete Career Transition. ==References==
