Marcel Hirscher caused a sensation with his comeback in the Ski Alpin World Cup at the beginning of the season. At the beginning of December the bad news followed: cruciate ligament tear in the left knee. The Austrian does not rule out a new return.
“That’s how far I go. I’m quite happy, my doctors are also satisfied,” Marcel Hirscher told “Eurosport” on the edge of the giant slalom in Schladming.
He can do without walking aids “for a month. This is very cool, everyday life is passable and the rehab is also good. I am not allowed to complain,” reveals the 35-year-old about the healing course.
Hirscher had contracted a cruciate ligament rupture in the left knee at the beginning of December and has been damn to watch since then.
“I have a big goal and that is physically as fit again as I was before,” reveals the Austrian and said about his future: “When I have achieved it – and that’s a high goal – then I can do it about it Think how to proceed. “
Marcel Hirscher will “ski again”
It remains to be seen for the time being whether Hirscher attacks Alpine again in skiing alpine. At the beginning of the current season, the two -time Olympic champion celebrated his sensational comeback after a five -year break. Unlike in the past, Hirscher did not start for Austria, but for the Netherlands – the country of birth of his mother.
