Neureuther shaken
Hirscher drama: “I’m incredibly sorry for him”
Former ski star Felix Neureuther regrets the end of Marcel Hirscher's season and would have thought he had a lot left in him. "It's very bitter," the 40-year-old told dpa.
"I'm incredibly sorry for him because he hasn't been able to show anywhere near the potential he still has. I'm sure that he could have managed the set-up in such a way that he would have been among the front runners again at some point." Hirscher tore his cruciate ligament during training on Monday.

Career over for good?
The eight-time overall World Cup winner suffered the mishap on the Reiteralm and has already undergone surgery on his left knee. He will be out for the rest of the season and his second career as an alpine skier for the Netherlands may also be over. "Maybe I'm finally done with my journey now," said Hirscher on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old returned to the Alpine Ski World Cup this season after a five-year break and competed in three races. However, Hirscher only scored World Cup points in the giant slalom in Sölden.
