Duel is imminent
Odermatt on Hirscher: “Will need some time”
Marco Odermatt has announced that Marcel Hirscher will certainly need some time to get into his usual position due to his starting number. Nevertheless, last season's dominator is already looking forward to the duel with the 35-year-old.
"It's difficult to say how strong he will really be on the road. But I assume that he will quickly be at a good level," Odermatt told Blick at the Swiss Ski Night in Zurich when asked about Hirscher's comeback.
"Will be extremely exciting"
The Swiss definitely has a lot of faith in his opponent, who will be returning to the slopes for the Netherlands after a five-year break: "He will certainly need a bit of time to get back to his usual starting position and be able to compete because of his starting number. But he knows how to win races and that will certainly stand him in good stead. It will be extremely exciting."
Hirscher ranks 300th in the slalom and 777th in the giant slalom in the final April list for the 2023/24 season, so there is a lot of work ahead for the eight-time overall World Cup winner. But the 35-year-old is determined to take on this challenge.
