An authentic family tragedy, with a degree of fatality in some ways similar to what happened in the past two years to Mikaela Shiffrin and Zan Kranjec.
Michael Matt, together with his brothers Mario and Andreas, mourns the disappearance of father Hubert: as the Austrian media report, a domestic accident was fatal to the 65-year-old native of Arlberg, with the victim who fell from the balcony on the second floor of the house , during the renovation of the same.
Hubert Matt died on the spot, for the rescuers there was nothing to do for the man who brought two athletes who wrote pages of history on skis, just think of the two world titles and the Olympic gold of Sochi 2014 for Mario (who has triumphed 15 times in the World Cup), in addition to the world championship medals of Michi, still in business, who also graduated Olympic champion in Beijing 2022 with the title in the team event, he already bronze at PyeongChang 2018 in "his" slalom.
Andreas, the middle brother (born in 1982, while Mario is a ''79 and Michi is from' '93), has instead won a world cob and won an Olympic silver in skicross, as well as having brought home the crystal ball of the discipline in 2011.
