Shortly before the start of the season

The cancer drama surrounding Niels Hintermann has also shaken skiing superstar Marco Odermatt. "It's a real shock," the Swiss skier shares his teammate's sorrow.
As was announced on Wednesday, Niels Hintermann has been diagnosed with lymph node cancer and will not be competing in any ski races in the coming season. He received the serious diagnosis last Tuesday during standard examinations.
The disease is at an early stage and he now has two cycles of chemotherapy and probably two weeks of radiotherapy ahead of him.
"We laughed a lot together last week"
"I had a lot of fun with Niels at the beginning of last week when we posed together at a photo shoot for an association sponsor - we laughed a lot together. That's why the news of his illness comes as a complete surprise to me, it's a real shock," Marco Odermatt is quoted as saying by Blick.
At that moment, Odermatt "realized once again that it is ridiculous to complain about a twinge in my back compared to such a diagnosis," said the three-time overall World Cup winner shortly before the start of the men's season in Sölden (27 October).
The good news: Hintermann's doctors are confident - not only in terms of the healing process, but also with regard to the continuation of his career as a ski racer.
