We remember that another great Austrian skier brought joy to another country without much success: Marc Girardelli, in conflict with his federation, collected successes in the 80s and 90s by wearing the colors of Luxembourg, while he had no family ties with the Grand Duchy…
Marcel Hirscher, 35, put away his skis in 2019, at the height of his glory. He has indeed won everything since his debut on the circuit in 2011: 8 World Cups, which no one has achieved before him, 2 Olympic champion titles (slalom and alpine combined) in 2018 in Pyeongchang, 5 individual titles of world champion (3 in slalom, 1 in alpine combined and 1 in giant slalom) and 2 in teams, and 6 small globes (Specialty World Cup) in slalom and as many in giant slalom! Hirscher won 67 World Cup races, falling short of the mark of Swede Ingemar Stenmark (86), the absolute reference. His next goal?
