Marcel Hirscher Eyes Ski World Cup Return, Timing Uncertain

The ski champion is considering a comeback for the Sölden World Cup opener but remains unsure about his readiness.

Marcel Hirscher, a decorated ski champion, is contemplating a return to competitive skiing at the World Cup in Sölden, Austria, later this month.
Hirscher, who last competed in 2019, has been dealing with health issues and feels he is not yet ready for a top-15 finish.
Despite having a wildcard entry for the Sölden event, Hirscher is uncertain if he will be in form in time and is considering taking additional weeks to prepare.
The 35-year-old skier plans to represent the Netherlands, his mother's birth country, instead of Austria for his potential comeback.
Hirscher intends his return to be a one-season endeavor, although he remains open to extending it if circumstances allow.
