Marcel Hirscher is driving an entire ski nation crazy

This year Pircher was installed as head of the badly hit ÖSV giant slalom team. Hirscher's father Ferdinand is also part of this group. A comeback from Marcel would be fitting after his performance at the Reiteralm at the weekend which presented ski fans with a big puzzle . The eight-time overall World Cup winner completed pole training for the first time since his retirement, complete with racing suit and racing skis ( SportNews berichtete ).

“It is pure joy to watch Marcel ski. “It was emotional when you saw how much fun he still has with this sport,” Pircher told the Krone newspaper . Of course, everyone on the giant slalom team would be grateful for tips from Marcel Hirscher.

According to Pircher, who does not yet want to talk about a possible comeback, his former protégé has not forgotten anything: “Quite the opposite. It's really admirable how he got on the skis right away." Hans Knauß speaks of best times on the Reiteralm Pircher did not want to comment on Hirscher's rumored best times in training. It looks different ORF -Expert Hans Knauß. “Because I live not far from the Reiteralm, I know from a reliable source that he achieved six best times in six runs compared to the ÖSV giant slalom World Cup team,” said Knauß in the Swiss View cited.

However, Knauß doesn't believe that Hirscher wants to "expose himself to this World Cup hype again." The 49-year-old thinks it's more of a marketing stunt. According to Knauß, Hirscher can satisfy his sponsors with such campaigns.

“The Schröcksi would certainly be happy too” Hannes Reichelt One thing is certain: Hirscher is making the ÖSV dream through his action. Or like that Journal of Sport said: “A few swings from Hirscher drive an entire nation crazy.” That also fits ORF -Moderator Rainer Pariasek asked several athletes about a possible Hirscher comeback in the finish area in Val d'Isère on Sunday. Hannes Reichelt said: “The Schröcksi (ÖSV President Peter Schröcksnadel; Note d. Red. ) would certainly be happy too. Then we would have a bench in the Nations Cup again.”
