Mayer gives comeback as a forerunner-ski star is planning a appearance in Saalbach!

Saalbach, Österreich - Matthias Mayer, the three-time Olympic champion in the ski alpine, announced his return to the ski world with an exciting announcement! After his surprising resignation during the races in Bormio 2022, when he revealed sudden health problems, the Carinthian is now planning to start as a forerunner at the 2025 skiing championship in Saalbach. In a conversation with Today he said that he was already in training to cope with the World Cup route. This decision is the first step towards integration into competition, but without the printing of an official racing start.

Mayer is aware of the challenges that he has had to cope with in recent years, including mental burdens that led to his resignation. He describes the past few months as a learning process that has helped him gain distance from the competitive pressure. This new approach is also evident in its goals for the future: "First of all, I want to drive as a forerunner," says Mayer in Skiweltcup.tv . In addition, he plans to start as a forerunner at European Cacu races in Zauchensee and on the Reiteralm, which heats up the rumor about a comeback in the World Cup. In any case, the door for a possible return to the world tip is still open, especially since Mayer could benefit from the wildcard control.
