Talks about the Kitz scandal

Mayer: “I was overwhelmed by the situation!”

Austria's Olympic legend Matthias Mayer has been through a difficult time. He talks to the "Krone" about the Kitzbühel scandal, his health and his work as a coach. A comeback in the Ski World Cup is not out of the question - but not in the current season.

"I'm doing well now!" Olympic ski hero Matthias Mayer appears calm and relaxed in conversation with the "Krone" newspaper and is also in a joking mood. It wasn't always like this. First came the surprisingly early end to his career in December 2022, and this January the Carinthian disrupted a reception in Kitzbühel hosted by Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Governor of Lower Austria.
