Black with new way: slalom under pressure, focus on other disciplines?

In the Ski World Cup, the achievements of the Carinthian Marco Schwarz show a mixed picture: While he finished with a strong fifth place in the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, the goal was again denied in the slalom-he left in the second round. This was already the third defeat in this discipline. The discussion is boiling whether the slalom should be taken from black 'competition program after this season, how Krone.at reported. Head coach Marko Pfeifer said that the situation had to be seriously rethought and that crucial discussions about the future of discipline are pending.

Schwarz himself was dissatisfied with his slalom performance and said: "The performance definitely didn't fit. I don't feel very comfortable in the slalom at the moment." Despite health problems with his back, he experienced a different focus in the departure. The question of whether Schwarz should only focus on other disciplines is now in the room. Black may want to go back to departure training in Kvitfjell in Norwegian next weekend, which continues to drive his comeback plans, so Today.at.

The challenges in black 'comeback season should not be underestimated. After a severe fall in December 2023, in which he tore the cruciate ligament and the meniscus, he is now fighting to find his shape again. He had focused on technology disciplines, while returning to speed is becoming increasingly pressing. The pressure on black, both its technology and its perseverance near the top, is growing with every competition. Will he be able to get the curve in the slalom or will he decide to focus on the more successful disciplines?
