Former companion reveals
Hirscher? “The joy wasn’t always there!”
Marcel Hirscher's ex-coach Mike Pircher was happy with his former protégé's Sölden comeback. "I think it's great. I was really pleased that he's getting back into it and, above all, is enjoying skiing. That wasn't always there before, it was more forced."
"He's obviously doing it for fun now, and only for fun," said Pircher, who now trains Lucas Pinheiro Braathen in the Brazilian team.
"... then I believe he can do great things"
According to Pircher, Hirscher can achieve much more. "Marcel is a racer. If he gets his seven plums together and the equipment works the way he wants it to, I believe he can do great things," he emphasized. "Sooner or later, I also believe in winning again."
When it comes to skiing technique, Hirscher is beyond all doubt. "The question is perhaps whether you still have the physical dynamism and strength at the age of 35 and whether you can still bring it to the snow like a 24-year-old. Only time will tell."
