Without his coach Michael Pircher, Marcel Hirscher arrived Monday night (local time) in the United States. A few weeks after Hirscher, Pircher became a father and flew to Colorado on Wednesday. The seventh winner of the World Cup in Austria is preparing for the giant slalom Sunday at Beaver Creek. The Super-G-Start from Hirscher will not be there.
Although Hirscher won the slalom in the last race ahead of Henrik Kristoffersen, he warned that the next slalom at Val d 'Isère next week could be the opposite. In the giant slalom, however, he already has more good days of training than in the slalom before Levi.
Even in giant slalom, the competition does not sleep and we will not know where I am until Sunday, "wrote Hirscher in his last blog on Monday.The previous year, Hirscher had caused a sensation in Beaver Creek during its first appearance in giant slalom after ankle fracture.
Hirscher left Tuesday afternoon (local time) in Vail to train on the American snow. At the moment, giant slalom and slalom units were on the program, as was the case last time in Reiteralm's home country.
A departure from Hirscher Super-G Friday is now virtually excluded. "If I want to become SG, I need at least one downhill workout and it costs two days of training, which I would miss in my main disciplines," Hirscher said. It therefore tends to "rather not".
For Hirscher, this trip to Colorado is his first trip abroad as a father. "It does not necessarily add much to my motivation for this long trip," he said. "But if I drive the season, I have to do it, who says A must also say B"
