Philipp Schoerghofer said enough, after having really tried all of them to recover from the continuous injuries that had led him far from the levels that the 36-year-old Salzburg giant had reached in the heart of his career.
Even in the year just ended, which Schoerghofer had ended prematurely due to back problems, after having practically missed the entire Olympic season after the operation on his right knee, only three positions had arrived beyond the 20th position in the first three giants of the World Cup.
The announcement of the withdrawal arrived in the morning directly from Obertauern, with a video transmitted (among other things under a heavy snowfall) to communicate his decision. One of Austria's pillars among the broad doors of the last decade therefore leaves with a cup victory, obtained on 6 February 2011 in Hinterstoder, and five more podiums in the specialty, with a second and four third places, of which l '' the latest arrival on 7 January 2017 in the giant of Adelboden, behind Pinturault and Hirscher in the last great high-level season, where the possibility of a medal in the Sankt Moritz world championship was also played out.
