It is the great evening of Marcel Hirscher, the one that all the fans and an entire country like Austria has been waiting for since last week, the date of September 4 was announced for a press conference which, according to what emerged in quite clearly, he will see the Salzburg champion announce the closure of an inimitable career. The appointment is set at 8.15 pm in Lounge 5 of the Guttwerk Congress Center in Salzburg; there are over 130 accredited media and there will be the presence, in addition to the federal president Peter Schroecksnadel, of the great leader of the giant Red Bull, Dietrich Mateschitz, and of former athletes and now television commentators like Marco Buechel, who will moderate the meeting, Alexandra Meissnitzer and Philipp Schoerghofer. Felix Neureuther himself, who left skiing at the end of last season, said he was surprised about Hirscher's likely farewell: "I was hoping that Marcel would continue until I was hit by this decision - the words released to Heute Sport from the Bavarian - If confirmed, it would leave me with a sense of bitterness: skiing would lose a lot and I am convinced that he could also slow down with the training program and still dominate the World Cup, but I know that this has never been his target. Marcel has always pushed to 150% and has constantly sought perfection ". We are already hypothesizing the future commitments of Hirscher, who could found a school for young skiers with Red Bull, also involving the historic partner Atomic (with whom Hirscher had renewed, last year, until 2020) for a project also linked to the Olympic Games Beijing Winter 2022. Voices, inferences, only from 8.15 pm we will know everything (or almost) from the person concerned: live TV event on ORF2 and Servus TV, also in streaming, with Neveitalia that will follow the event entirely with a special live.
