Felix Neureuther published a skiing video of his eldest daughter Matilda Neureuther in March 2023.
He probably wouldn't make that decision today.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen – “No snow, no show.” This is how Felix Neureuther comments on each of his Instagram posts.
“No snow, no show” also seems to be something like the life motto of the former German ski star.
Because he still feels right at home on the slopes.
How important winter sports are to the 39-year-old is also shown by his commitment to climate change - after all, he wants to preserve for future generations what he himself enjoys so much.
Felix Neureuther and social media: Ski-Ass is very active
Neureuther was recently out and about with his old friend Bastian Schweinsteiger, and together the two of them thundered down the slopes and in the meantime also enjoyed one or two delicacies.
The Instagram post went viral, and several other celebrities responded with sometimes funny comments.
Neureuther is very active on social networks.
However, he seems to regret one recent post.
It's about his eldest daughter Matilda.
What happened?
Felix Neureuther regrets publishing his daughter's video on the Internet
In March 2023, Neureuther posted a video of his then five-year-old daughter.
Matilda shows impressive turns on the ski slope, the community was thrilled and already predicted a future Olympic champion.
“If I had known what this video triggered, I would never have published it,” Neureuther explained now, almost a year later, in the
ORF
talk format “Stöckl”.
At this point, the editorial team deliberately refrains from embedding the video in question again.

Neureuther and his daughter's ski video: Emotional post in honor of Rosi Mittermaier?
Because one thing is clear to Neureuther: he doesn't want to put any pressure on him.
“That people think there’s a new ski star – for God’s sake.
No, that’s still so far,” he emphasizes.
For him, it was much more a joy that the children had fun skiing: “That’s the great thing: that you can experience this enthusiasm.” He also posted the video at the time with the words: “No snow, no show.” .
But why did he decide to upload the video?
Of course, Neureuther's mother plays a role here.
The clip was released two months after Rosi Mittermaier's death.
“The clouds are below, the blue sky is above,” said Neureuther.
The video also had a symbolic character - the grandma watches her granddaughter play the sport that has meant so much to the entire family over the decades and lives on in the new generation.

Neureuther winter sports family: No pressure for the new generation
The love of nature, the mountains, skiing – it was something that Matilda Neureuther was born with: Gold Rosi, the double Olympic champion, as a grandmother.
Christian Neureuther is also a former German ski ace as his grandfather.
Ski world champion Felix Neureuther as dad and former cross-country skier and biathlete Miriam Neureuther as mother.
But the Neureuthers showed that it's not always about winter sports, for example, with a fun photo of Matilda starting school.
