Marcel Hirscher: Injury shocks fans! Comeback in danger?

Marcel Hirscher is at the center of the skiing discussion after a dramatic injury. The 35-year-old superstar had to abruptly stop training on Monday and revealed that he appeared to have injured his knee. In an emotional post on his social media, Hirscher spoke of "the last run of the season" while acknowledging the possibility that it could mean the end of his career. Despite the uncertain future, he made it clear that his love for skiing remained and thanked his fans for their support.

The excitement surrounding Hirscher was also intensified by a report from the Swiss “Blick”, which raised rumors about possible tricks with the material. Hirscher, who celebrated his comeback on Sunday in Sölden after 2,521 days, made a positive first impression with a place in the top 30. But 24 hours later, the “Blick” questioned: “Is Hirscher running a brand scam?” There was speculation that Hirscher had problems with his equipment while training in New Zealand and may have resorted to an Atomic brand shoe. However, these claims were dismissed by his team as unfounded. “There is no shoe trick,” said Michael Holzer, Van-Deer’s public relations manager, confirming that Hirscher only wears his own newly developed ski boots, which he actively helped design.

Injury and rumors

The situation worsens as Hirscher not only has to contend with the physical consequences of his injury, but also with the speculative allegations surrounding his material. Despite the emotional news of his injured status, he remained optimistic and expressed his gratitude to the loyal fans who have supported him over the years. There is currently no certainty about a possible return next winter, as some suspect, as the precise diagnosis of his knee injury is still pending. What is clear, however, is that the loss of the season is a big disappointment for the world-class skier from Austria and the skiing world will be looking forward to further news like this Today.at and oe24 reported.
