That’s what it’s regarding
Lucas Braathen retired from active ski racing at the end of October.
At that time, ex-ski racer Felix Neureuther proposed to the Norwegian.
Now the 23-year-old reacted to it – with a lot of humor.
What a shock it was in the ski world: At just 23 years old, Lucas Braathen announced his retirement at the end of October. “For the first time in years I feel free,” said the Norwegian. Reactions from current and former ski racers were prompt. Felix Neureuther was among them.
The answer from the German ex-professional was surprising. The 39-year-old wrote on Instagram: “If it’s because of the association, I would marry you and then you can start for Germany. My wife would be completely okay with that.” A humorous bright spot in a rather tragic news story.

“I would be crazy”
Braathen did not immediately respond to the post – probably for good reasons. But now some grass has grown over the retirement story, the slalom specialist was probably able to digest the impressions a little. Braathen responded to the offer in a Q&A on Instagram: “As you all noticed, Felix made me a very generous proposal. I would be crazy not to say yes to such a handsome man. We also got permission from his wife Miriam.”
This is how Miriam Neureuther reacted.
And yes, Miriam Neureuther also got in touch, she wrote: “Welcome to our crazy family.” Of course, the whole thing is just a joke. But a change of country would still be possible for Braathen. Because he has both the Norwegian and the Brazilian passport. That’s because his mother is Brazilian.
After Braathen’s resignation, Marco Odermatt said in “Blick”: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Braathen started for Brazil next winter. The Brazilian association certainly wouldn’t mind if they brought J. Lindeberg clothing and Red Bull as a sponsor. However, so far there has been no indication that Braathen is pursuing this goal.
