Gala Tributes and New Interviews Keep Laura Dahlmeier’s Legacy in Focus

Friends emphasized her written request to avoid any recovery that put others at risk.

Overview

  • Thomas Huber, who joined the failed recovery effort on Laila Peak, told BR’s Blickpunkt Sport he still feels Dahlmeier’s presence and described honoring her after summiting Suma Brakk.
  • Rescue and later retrieval attempts were abandoned because of weather and danger, and her body remains on the mountain consistent with her stated wishes.
  • At the Sportler des Jahres gala in Baden-Baden, a video retrospective and a performance by musician Gregor Meyle drew a standing ovation and moved attendees including Magdalena Neuner to tears.
  • Neuner told SPORT1 she supports the family’s decision and criticized those questioning it, pointing to Dahlmeier’s document and saying the family has found peace.
  • BR reported continued public mourning in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, including visits to a memorial and a plan to rename the Kurpark as “Laura-Dahlmeier-Park.”
