Overview
- In a LinkedIn post, Schröder says it has been two months since she had to inform the public of the Olympic biathlete’s death and reflects on the period as manager, confidante and mourner.
- She writes that she worked with Dahlmeier’s family and close friends to share necessary facts while protecting the athlete’s privacy in the face of heavy coverage and public grief.
- Schröder notes practical fallout for Dahlmeier’s business commitments, thanking sponsors as campaigns, bookings and contracts are wound down or canceled.
- Dahlmeier died on July 28 after being struck by rockfall at about 5,700 meters on Laila Peak in Pakistan, and attempted recovery operations were called off due to danger.
- Her remains have not been recovered in accordance with her written wish to avoid risking others, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen has created a temporary memorial and announced the Laura-Dahlmeier-Park.
