A good week after Rosi Mittermaier's death, Felix Neureuther is back in action as an ARD expert.

According to his mother's wishes.

Wengen – Felix Neureuther and his family are looking for a way back to everyday life after the death of Rosi Mittermaier.

"It's a very difficult time for us," said the ARD expert on the sidelines of the Super-G in Wengen, Switzerland, "but we also have to get back to some normality at home.

This is very important in the process of deep grief.”

It was the "very explicit wish" of his mother, who died on January 4th at the age of 72, that he resume his expert job soon.

"She said: Felix, go to Wengen and enjoy it!"

Wengen is "a place of power" for the family, reported Neureuther.

His father Christian clinched two victories there, he himself "didn't ski that badly a few times" there, and Rosi Mittermaier was on the podium several times in nearby Grindelwald.

"That's why it's good to be here, and absolutely in the interest of mom," said Neureuther, who was "very grateful" for the great sympathy.

This proves “that mom did a lot of things right”.
