Marcel Hirscher: Comeback with setbacks - what's coming now?

Marcel Hirscher: Comeback with setbacks - what's coming now?

In the Ski World Cup in Levi, Finland, there was a lot of sensation on Sunday when the former dominator Marcel Hirscher played his first slalom after more than five years. The expectations were high, but the reality dropped to the unsightly 46th rank and was already eliminated after the first round. This was the return of the 35-year-old, who goes into the race for the Netherlands, as anything but successful, like fr.de reported.

With the comeback under the motto "Back to the form", Hirscher now wants to work on his material tests and further increase. Despite the failures, he emphasizes that five years are a long time and that the slopes have changed significantly since his active time. At the upcoming challenge in Val d’Iere on January 14, 2025, he looks with new enthusiasm, determined to regain his earlier form and leave a positive impression.
