Hirscher criticism too
“Show and a joke”: Legend goes off on Vonn
"In my opinion, it's just a show, it's bordering on taking the piss": Olympic ski champion Markus Wasmeier has a clear opinion on Lindsey Vonn's comeback plans.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen It's "dangerous as hell when you do things like that and then also ski in the speed disciplines", the 61-year-old German told the portal "Sport 1" when asked about a possible World Cup return for the 40-year-old American. At her age, you are "no longer as responsive as a 25-year-old", Wasmeier points out.
Should Vonn actually dare to make a comeback, it would only be due to marketing, "she's making a show of it, I can't imagine it any other way," the German is convinced. In any case, it "borders on taking the piss", Wasmeier clearly states.
"I would be ashamed to death"
Vonn doesn't need all this at all, "she's one of the best athletes anyway, so she should leave it alone. She should let herself be celebrated for what she has achieved. I'd be ashamed to death if I went down there and was suddenly ten seconds behind. Everyone would laugh at you."
The new wildcard rule, which makes it much easier for the US American to make a comeback and from which Marcel Hirscher has already benefited, is also not to Wasmeier's taste. "The whole thing only came about because of Marcel Hirscher, because he brings in so much money with his sponsors. I don't think it's right to use it just for marketing purposes," said the two-time 1994 Olympic champion.
