Dorothy Lee "Dotsie" Bausch is an American former cyclist and Olympic silver medalist. She is also the executive director of the nonprofit Switch4Good.

Early life

[edit]

Bausch grew up in Kentucky and graduated from Villanova University with a degree in journalism.[1]

At 26 years old, toward the end of her therapy work, her therapist encouraged her to move her body again, choosing a physical activity that was not attached to a goal of fitness or weight loss. She chose cycling.[2]

Career

[edit]

Bausch was featured in the 2015 documentary Personal Gold: An Underdog Story and the 2017 documentary The Game Changers.[3]

Switch4Good is an athlete-driven nonprofit working toward a dairy-free future. The organization employs athlete stories with scientific research and outreach to help others "live better and do more" by avoiding dairy.[4]
