Marcel Hirscher after the cruciate ligament rupture: Comeback threatens to fail!

A shock message for the ski world: Ski superstar Marcel Hirscher tore the cruciate ligament in the left knee during a training run on Tuesday. He was already operated on in the Ragnitz private clinic in Graz, but the first forecasts are worrying. His big goal, the home World Cup in Saalbach Hinterglemm, has burst. After more than five years and a much -eyed comeback, which began with the preservation of World Cup points in Sölden, Hirscher now had to abrupt his dream of returning to the Alpine Elite, as already Merkur reported.

sad end after strong comeback

The comeback from Hirscher was celebrated by the media and fans alike, but now his adventure ends early in the ski world. In an emotional video message, the 35-year-old contacted his followers and admitted: "It happened Deppert". He even indicated a possible end of career when he said: "Maybe I'm finally finished with my trip now." After a promising start to the season, his hope for a strengthened duel with the competition was destroyed by the injury and the past achievements in which he could not collect any points in Levi and Gurgl, reported OE24

The emotional situation also affects companions like the former skier Fritz Dopfer, who said in an interview: "Of course this is extremely bitter. I personally feel extremely sorry for Marcel." While Hirscher begins with intensive rehabilitation after the operation, it remains to be seen whether he can venture another comeback in the future, or whether the injury seals the final end of his impressive career.
