His teammates were in shock, the competitors believed it was a joke and the supplier spoke of a “catastrophe” – the surprising resignation of ski racer Lucas Braathen was reminiscent of the sudden departure of three-time Olympic champion Matthias Mayer in Bormio in December 2022. However, the Norwegian is only 23 years old and the decision was also based on disputes with the association. A change of nation would be one way to move on.
The guidelines at the Norwegian association are strict, and the individual development opportunities of those active are severely limited. Braathen did an unauthorized fashion shoot and was fined. Certainly one of the reasons for the sudden end of Braathen. And the former German ski professional Neureuther took advantage of the opportunity and proposed to the Norwegian. “If it’s because of the association, I would marry you and then you can start for Germany,” wrote Neureuther.
A fan wanted to know
A fan wanted to know on Instagram and asked the Norwegian when the wedding bells will ring? With a wink, Braathen replied: “As you all noticed, Felix made a very generous proposal to me. I would be crazy not to say yes to such a loving man. We also got permission from his wife Miriam. “
Blessing from wife Miriam
By the way, some media reports that the former biathlete and wife of Felix Neureuther, Miriam, reposted the video on her Instagram story and announced: “Welcome to our crazy family.”

Of course, the whole thing can be seen as a joke, but the story shows how sports associations can spoil the fun of sports for athletes.
