The case is being investigated. – I’m done, says Braathen and continued: – I’ve almost always chosen to do what makes me the happiest. That’s what matters to me. That’s my definition of success. Not the lucrative collaboration agreements I’m in. And not the fact that the last time I competed in a race, I was the best in the world at it. It’s whether this makes me happy or not, says Braathen. Braathen told that when he held a press conference on Friday, the start of the World Cup in Sölden this weekend. There he posed without Ski Association clothes but in a purple cardigan and a white t-shirt. – Last night I told my teammates this. That was hard. It was absolutely awful, But it was also so beautiful, says Braathen at the press conference. He said that after he gave a long speech of around 20 minutes. – I promised to keep going until the day it didn’t make me the happiest anymore, says Lucas Braathen at the press conference. Then he made it clear that he is putting an end to his alpine career. – For the first time in over half a year – after making this decision, so for the first time I am happy. And for the first time in years I feel free. And anyone who knows me knows that freedom is one of my biggest sources of success. And joy, says Braathen.

He says it has felt less and less good. – I am not giving up in protest, says Braathen. He says he doesn’t give up in bitterness either. He emphasizes that it is the motto what makes him happy, which is behind the end of his career. The storm around Braathen There has been a storm around Braathen lately after he carried out a publicity stunt for the clothing brand J. Lindeberg in the autumn. This caused the Ski Association to react. On Thursday, it became known that the Ski Association has notified Alpinstjern in a letter that a fine is imminent for Alpinstjern, for what was a breach of their market rights. During the press conference on Friday, Braathen lashed out at the Skiing Association for how they are handled by the Skiing Association when it comes to the athletes’ opportunities and right to their own photos. And reacts to, among other things, the fact that the Skiing Association has forwarded the case to the Norwegian Sports Confederation, despite the fact that their own legislative committee supports the athletes’ demands. He reacts to the Skiing Association’s handling of the case. At the press conference, he first went all the way back to his childhood when he started a monologue at the press conference. – Dear Norway, wherever you are. We have something to talk about. We have to start all the way back to my encounter with sport, Braathen said from the start. He then went on to talk about the road to becoming the best and his setbacks. He also pointed out the Ante not content What Braathen was going to use Friday’s press conference to tell the Ski Association was not ante. – He has wanted to have his own press conference. We know nothing about the cavity in it. He has to choose that himself, Ryste told news at the press conference on Thursday. Lucas Braathen had great success last year. Here from last year’s start of the season in Sölden. Photo: Lise Åserud Braathen himself believed that what he had to say should not steal attention from the other athletes. – After I have faced a media campaign against me for a few months that I am an egoist, don’t think about the community and am greedy, I think the least you can expect is for me to speak for myself about it. So that’s basically what I’m thinking about tomorrow. To have the matter parked and have my say, Braathen said on Thursday.
