She has participated in several Olympic Games contests and has won numerous awards in many other curling events worldwide. She won the silver medal twice; in the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City (with skip Luzia Ebnöther) and 2006 in Turin (as skip herself), making her the only woman in the world with two Olympic medals in Curling at the time, until Sweden's Annette Norberg won the Olympic Gold medal for the second time in Vancouver. At the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, her team finished a disappointing fourth place, as Ott's touch completely deserted her late in the semi-final and bronze medal matches.
In 2008 the team won the European Championship in Sweden.
She lives in Laax, Switzerland.
