"Marcel Hirscher, Wednesday night, will announce the withdrawal from the competitions".
The journalists of the "Krone" are sure, always very close to the events linked to the white and red ski and to the outstanding symbol of the movement. For the official, it will be enough to wait until 8 pm on Wednesday 4 September, when the press conference (moderated by ex skier Marco Buechel and live on ORF and Servus TV) will be staged at Gusswerk Lounge 5 in Salzburg. in which the winner of the last eight consecutive World Cups should at this point announce the farewell to competition, only 30 years old.
During the day the invitations to the media from all over the world arrived and, according to what emerged from the circles around Annaberg's ace, the decision to quit was discussed until the last days, with his own entourage, technicians, managers and friends who tried to convince Marcel to continue.
Two decisive factors: the family, with his wife Laura, who gave birth to their first child who will turn one year in October, and the physical and mental stress that Hirscher had already clearly revealed at the end of last season.
All that remains is to wait five days for the final verdict.
