Gurgl Slalom: Decision made on Hirscher start
Marcel Hirscher sat out the first two races of the season: A decision has now been made regarding his participation in the slalom in Gurgl.
The wait for Marcel Hirscher's comeback continues.
The 37-year-old will not compete in the upcoming slalom in Gurgl either. This was confirmed by the eight-time overall World Cup winner's management upon inquiry by ORF – he will continue to focus on training.
The Salzburg native, who now competes for the Netherlands, had already skipped the races in Sölden and Levi (Finland). Exactly when he will make his comeback remains to be seen.
Starting this season, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) is granting Hirscher only four wildcards per discipline. However, a top-30 finish allows him to retain the redeemed wildcard.
