Sölden start shaky?
Swiss report: Major problems for Hirscher
Marcel Hirscher will be celebrating his big World Cup comeback in Sölden at the end of October - or will he? The Swiss report problems in the preparation ...
"There are doubts about Marcel Hirscher's comeback", headlines the Swiss newspaper "Blick" in its online edition. The last few weeks have "not gone as planned" for the ski star, who is now competing for the Netherlands.
Problems with the equipment?
According to the report, the 35-year-old had major coordination problems with his equipment at the preparation camp in New Zealand. Even the New Zealand giant slalom specialist Alice Robinson is said to have set faster times than Hirscher.
Due to the poor conditions, the planned test races in the southern hemisphere were also canceled and the man from Salzburg left earlier than planned. Even after returning from New Zealand, Hirscher had covered fewer kilometers on the slopes than expected.
In addition, the wild card introduced by the FIS is to be discussed next week. After the decision, which is intended to make it easier for former top skiers to make a comeback, was recently heavily criticized, it is to be discussed again internally. This is another reason why Hirscher's start in Sölden is not yet as certain as expected.
