Marcel Hirscher is already back at full throttle! The man from Salzburg, who will return to the ski circus under the Dutch flag, is already working hard for his sensational comeback. And is showing off his tattooed chest in the process.

Working up a sweat! Marcel Hirscher is currently working on his physical fitness on his racing bike. "It never gets easier, you just get older," writes the 35-year-old on his latest post, which shows him pedaling.

What also stands out: in the last photo (click to the right at the top of the post), the eight-time overall World Cup winner shows his tattoos on his chest. His followers are certainly impressed. "Cool tattoos," commented one user.

Change of nation
Hirscher, who had actually declared his career over in 2019, will be competing for the Netherlands, the country where his mother Sylvia was born. He is initially planning to compete in FIS races, in giant slalom and slalom - where the main aim is to collect FIS points.
