Injury drama around Marcel Hirscher: Comeback ended again!

Graz, Österreich - The ski world is shaken by a tragic injury! Marcel Hirscher, the Austrian ski star, had to end his comeback season prematurely after having suffered a severe cruciate ligament tear in training. The 35-year-old, who celebrated his return after five years of absence, initially aroused great expectations, but his comeback was short-lived. The injury drama occurred when Hirscher fell during training on the Reiteralm and immediately reached the left knee. His screams of pain told about the severity of the injury, as krone.at reported.

a glorious resignation?

Hirscher was not only a usual winner in the ski circus, but also the man who won the overall World Cup eight times. After his resignation in 2019, the ski world was excited about its comeback, which officially started in Sölden, but was unsuccessful. Before his injury, Hirscher said: "This is no fun, I feel out of place." Despite his unfortunate return, the question remains open whether the career of the former champion has finally ended. The situation is further observed after companions such as Felix Neureuther and Marco Schwarz reacted concerns and Hirscher transmitted recovery requests, such as NZZ.CH reported.

The injury is a boring cut in Hirscher's sporting ambitions because he wanted to prepare for the World Championships in February. Now he seems uncertain about his future in skiing, because his team said: "Maybe I'm finally finished with my trip." Hirscher will have to follow the coming season from the sidelines, which will be a bitter experience for him, especially after the last few months of hard work and the striving for his dream, which he connects with the love of skiing.
