Marcel Hirscher: Under a new flag: Ski legend is about to make a comeback
Marcel Hirscher should return from his skiing pension. The former World Cup dominator should start for another nation.
-
Marcel Hirscher is said to be on the verge of a comeback in the Ski World Cup.
-
The Austrian reportedly wants to compete for the Netherlands.

The technology master resigned in 2019.
Marcel Hirscher announced his resignation in September 2019, but the eight-time overall World Cup winner never retired. The Austrian could always be found on the slopes, for example he founded his own ski brand Van Deer.
Nevertheless, the report on Tuesday evening is a sensation. Several media outlets in Austria unanimously reported that Hirscher was aiming to return to the World Cup ranks. However, the two-time Olympic champion is said to no longer want to compete for Austria but for the Netherlands. His mother comes from this country.
Red Bull has a hand in it
Will it really come to that? According to several media outlets, the Austrian Ski Association would prefer that Hirscher continue to compete as an Austrian in his comeback. So it remains exciting.
Meanwhile, his management did not want to comment on the Hammer rumor. Similar to Lucas Braathen – the Norwegian is now competing for Brazil – main sponsor Red Bull is said to be behind the “Hirscher Comeback” project.
