Magdalena Neuner Details Years of Stalking in Podcast, Criticizes DSV Treatment

She describes balcony intrusions and daily letters despite a contact ban, with police actions she found insufficient.

Overview

  • In the podcast Die Gruaberin, the biathlon great says she felt the stalker was at her house every night for years.
  • She recounts the man climbing onto her balcony and leaving letters on her car daily despite a contact ban, with police once removing him from the balcony.
  • Neuner says she handed the letters to a police station each day yet perceived no effective action.
  • She reports the stalker later died by suicide, which she calls tragic and met with compassion.
  • The harassment led to an anxiety disorder and sleep problems before later improvement, and she separately faults the German Ski Association for making her feel unwelcome at the Ruhpolding World Cup after retiring.
