Wildcard in Sölden
Marcel Hirscher: “That changes very little for me!”
The ski start on the Rettenbachferner at the end of October will be an incredible giant slalom show! The men's elite against the two comebackers Lucas Braathen (winner 2020) and Marcel Hirscher (eight-time overall World Cup winner and Sölden winner 2014). However, the wildcard changes little for the Salzburg native.
The new wildcard guarantees the neo-Dutchman bib number 31 - FIS President Johan Eliasch himself paved the way for this with a swift rule change.
"I have to get in shape first"
"It's all still a long way off," says Hirscher, keeping the ball extremely low, "the wildcard system is cool, but it doesn't change much for me. I have to get in shape first."
Hirscher will move to New Zealand at the beginning of August and train there for three weeks. A maximum of four races were also planned there in order to improve his position in the world rankings. Marcel can now take a really relaxed approach.
