After getting out of retirement in October 2024, Marcel Hirscher was injured in the knee at the beginning of last December. This Wednesday, the octuple winner of the big globe announced its presence in the next season, with obviously the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games in Italy.
Marcel Hirscher will indeed be present at the start of the next Alpine ski season 2025-2026, obviously marked by the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games in Italy, from February 6 to 22. This Wednesday, the Austrian, who is now displayed under Dutch banner announced his return to social networks. “I’m ready for a new alpine ski season,” he revealed. We can now talk about return. This information should certainly delight his fans who imagined that the octuple winner of the big globe would definitively hang up the skis, especially after what he experienced six months ago.
Last December, to Reiterlam in Austria, Marc Hirscher was seriously injured in the left knee during training on the giant test. The examinations passed by the native of Annaberg-Lungötz had revealed a lesion to the anterior cross ligament which had earned him an operation in stride in Graz.
A delicate return
While everyone thought that this injury would put an end to his career, Marcel Hirscher has once again taken everyone on the back. And this is not the first time. When he put an end to his career in 2019, no one imagined him one day returning to the circuit. But five years later, the multiple Olympic and world medalist had made a resounding announcement to celebrate its return to the highest level.
Between October and early December 2024 – the date he injured – the double world team champion took 23rd place in the Sölden giant and then 46th place in the first round in Levi in Finland and was eliminated during the first round in Gurgl. From next October, in Sölden, Marcel Hirscher will undoubtedly want to show a better face for this tireless legend.
