Ski team accident
Hirscher after drama: “It was a shock for everyone”
The ski world is shocked: members of the South Korean ski team were involved in a serious accident in New Zealand on Wednesday. There were three fatalities. "It was a shock for everyone," said Marcel Hirscher, who was also in New Zealand at the time.
Marcel Hirscher had traveled to New Zealand for ski tests and plenty of training. However, as the "Krone" reported, he broke off his camp prematurely due to the poor weather conditions.
His stay was overshadowed by a tragic traffic accident in which three members of the South Korean ski team lost their lives. According to "The New Zealand Herald", the ski team's car collided head-on with an off-road vehicle near the town of Geraldine. A coach of the national team and two ski racers are said to be among the dead.
"It puts a lot of things into perspective"
"We were training in Roundhill at the same time and then came the shocking news of the accident, which was a shock for everyone," says Marcel Hirscher. "That puts a lot of things into perspective."
