Buddy Herbst:
“Hirscher? I wouldn’t put it past him to finish on the podium”
On Monday evening's "Sport und Talk im Hangar 7" on ServusTV, the big topic was someone who wasn't there due to illness: ski star Marcel Hirscher. His former colleague Reinfried Herbst believes the Salzburg native is capable of "a podium finish" in his comeback.
"Manuel Feller was the strongest in the slalom last winter, but there is a larger group of skiers in this discipline who can win and take podium places. I think he's capable of finishing on the podium next season," said Herbst about Hirscher's chances in his former favorite discipline.
In the giant slalom, it will be difficult for the comebacker to make it to the top - "Marco Odermatt is outstanding there," said Herbst. The fact that Hirscher will make his comeback at the season opener in Sölden is not yet set in stone. In any case, Reinfried Herbst thinks the giant slalom in Val d'Isere would be "even better for the start, that would be perfect."
Schröcksnadel: Change of nations "the right step"
Former ÖSV President Peter Schröcksnadel said on ServusTV Talk that although he "doesn't care" about Hirscher's change of nation from Austria to the Netherlands, he totally understands it. "It was certainly the right move for him, he didn't want to get back into the old rut and have his environment," said Schröcksnadel.
