Back in the ski circus
Kriechmayr confirmed: New job for Matthias Mayer
Matthias Mayer is back in the World Cup in a new role. The three-time Olympic champion is testing the World Cup equipment of his former ski company, for example for ÖSV ace Vincent Kriechmayr. "We generally have a good test team from Head, he's part of it," explained Kriechmayr at a media event in Selva/Wolkenstein on Thursday. "Now I have a three-time Olympic champion testing my skis."

The association then published a press release about his health problems.
Sudden resignation in Bormio in 2022
Things then went quiet around Mayer, who unexpectedly announced his resignation in Bormio at the end of December 2022. However, the ÖSV continued to support the Carinthian and monitored his recovery. In October, for example, he attended an audience with the Pope in the Vatican with a delegation from the World Ski Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. Mayer is now on site in Val Gardena/Gröden with a new area of responsibility and is working with the head racers. He is currently not part of the ÖSV support team, according to the federation.
