Neureuther: “It’s going to be a bit strange”

“It's like in previous years: I still have appointments after the season. “I’m still too much into it to realize that I’m not skiing anymore,” said the winner of 13 World Cup races to the German Press Agency on Thursday in Hamburg.

The appointments across Germany – on Thursday he appeared in the Hanseatic city as an ambassador for oral hygiene – kept him “somehow fully in rhythm”. The 34-year-old trained customs officer said he will probably only fully realize his decision and its consequences in the summer. “Actually, I would have to go to training. This is going to be a bit strange.”

“I’m not afraid, but I have respect” Felix Neureuther It remains to be seen whether he will then have his emotions under control, said the best German ski racer in recent years. “I’m not afraid, but I have respect,” he admitted.

He didn't want to reveal whether he would soon be competing as a TV expert in his sport. He is already having discussions about his professional future. His parents Rosi Mittermaier and Christian Neureuther support him. “After all, it’s about the next few years. Everything has to be on rock solid foundations,” said Felix Neureuther, who will be celebrating his 35th birthday next Tuesday. He rules out a comeback. And what if things turn out differently? “That would be a surprise for me too,” said Neureuther.
