Marcel Hirscher (born March 2, 1989 in Hallein , Salzburg ) is a former Austrian ski racer . He was largely specialized in the disciplines of slalom and giant slalom , in which he is one of the most successful drivers in history, but also achieved top positions in the super-G and super-combined . Hirscher was the first alpine ski racer to win the overall World Cup eight times in a row. In addition, he won a World Cup discipline twelve times, seven world championship titles and the second-most World Cup victories and World Cup podiums for men behind Ingemar Stenmark . At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , he won gold medals in giant slalom and combined, and at the 2014 Games in Sochi, he won silver in slalom. Since winning the slalom at the Åre World Championships on February 17, 2019, he has been the most successful ski racer in the history of Alpine World Ski Championships .

biography

Marcel Hirscher was born the son of two ski instructors. Mother Sylvia comes from The Hague ( Netherlands ), which is why Hirscher is a dual citizen. Later, the idea of ​​joining the local ski association was considered, but Hirscher opted for the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) due to the better funding . Father Ferdinand used to be the innkeeper on the Stuhlalm and is director of the Annaberg ski school. He was his son's first ski instructor, became an important caregiver and was present as a supervisor at almost all of his son's races. Hirscher attended the ski hotel management school in Bad Hofgastein , one of his classmates was Anna Veith . He graduated from the school in 2007 with good success and received the award "Best Graduate of the Salzburg Tourism Schools".

First successes in ski racing and promotion to the national team

In 2004, Hirscher was three-time Austrian school champion in his school age group II and won the Super-G of the Whistler Cup in Canada , one of the most important international children's ski races. After reaching the age limit, the Salzburg man was used in FIS races from December 2004 . He celebrated his first victories in this category in March 2006 when he won two slaloms in Bad Wiessee . At the Austrian Youth Championships in 2006, he was among the top three in all disciplines in the Youth I age group, which means he won the combined ranking. After joining the junior squad of the Austrian Ski Association , Hirscher won points in the European Cup for the first time in January 2007 , and in the same month he became Austrian youth champion in slalom in the youth class II. At the 2007 Junior World Championships in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee and Flachau in March , he won the gold medal in giant slalom and the silver medal in slalom. As a junior world champion, Hirscher was able to take part in a World Cup race for the first time at the season finale in Lenzerheide . He finished this giant slalom on March 17th, in which he started the race as the last starter with No. 31, and third from bottom in 24th place, 3.17 seconds behind the winner Aksel Lund Svindal .

Marcel Hirscher at the European Cup giant slalom in Hinterstoder in January 2008

During the winter of 2007/08 , Hirscher made contact with the top of the world, and in addition to the European Cup, he was more and more often used in the World Cup. At the turn of the year he won two slaloms in the European Cup, which ultimately helped him win the 2007/08 European Cup with six more podium places . On January 6th, 2008 he finished ninth in the slalom in Adelboden for the first time among the top ten in a World Cup race, after winning the first World Cup points four weeks earlier in his first World Cup race of the winter as 24th in the slalom in Bad Kleinkirchheim . At the end of February, two gold medals in slalom and giant slalom followed at the Junior World Championships 2008 in Formigal, before Hirscher, who had just turned 19 at the time, made it onto the podium for the first time in March with two third places in the slalom of Kranjska Gora and Bormio . In the slalom classification of the 2007/08 season he achieved 15th place. Following these results, Hirscher rose from the B-team in 2008 to the national team of the Austrian Ski Association. Since then, apart from the last two European Cup races in December 2008, he has only competed in the World Cup.

In the 2008/09 season , Hirscher was among the top ten in a total of ten World Cup races, finishing third in the super combination of Val-d'Isère and just missing two more as fourth in the slaloms in Kitzbühel and Wengen . This put him in the top ten in the slalom and combination world cup, and in the overall and giant slalom world cup he was fourteenth. Due to his good placements, Hirscher qualified for the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère, where he finished fourth in the giant slalom (seven hundredths of a second behind the medal ranks), but retired in the combination slalom and the first run of the special slalom. At the Junior World Championship of the same year he was second in the Super-G and third in the giant slalom.

Victories in world cup races and overall world cup victory

In December 2009 Hirscher first achieved second place in the Super Combined and then eleventh place in the Super G at the races in Val-d'Isère, before winning the giant slalom in Val-d'Isère on the 13th of the month celebrated first World Cup victory. He had already won a parallel race in Moscow three weeks earlier , which was not part of the World Cup as an invitation race. Hirscher, who only started sporadically in these disciplines in the World Cup, did not take part in super combinations and super Gs for the time being, he now concentrated exclusively on slalom and giant slalom. After two more podium places, he achieved his second World Cup victory on January 30, 2010 in the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora. He finished the 2009/10 season in sixth place in the overall and giant slalom world cup and eighth in the slalom world cup. At the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , he narrowly missed the medal ranks with fourth place in giant slalom and fifth in slalom. At the end of the season he was Austrian national champion in giant slalom.

On December 12, 2010, Hirscher celebrated his first slalom victory in the World Cup in Val-d'Isère, where he had won the first giant slalom a year earlier. Second places followed in the slaloms of Adelboden and Wengen in January, but on February 6 - shortly before the start of the 2011 World Championships  - the season ended prematurely for him because he suffered a fractured scaphoid on his left foot in a fall in the giant slalom in Hinterstoder . Nevertheless, in winter 2010/11 he finished fifth in the Slalom World Cup and tenth in the Giant Slalom World Cup.

Recovered again, Hirscher won the giant slalom in Beaver Creek and the slalom in Alta Badia in December 2011 . After the turn of the year 2011/12, he became the first ski racer ever to achieve two victories with the giant slalom and the slalom, both classics of the International Ski Days in Adelboden. Because he then won the Zagreb Night Slalom , he was the first racer after Ingemar Stenmark to win the first three World Cup races of the year. After that, Hirscher was also able to win the highly endowed night slalom on the Schladminger Planai and thus for the first time a race in Austria, and he also won the giant slalom and slalom of Bansko . For the first time in over two years, Hirscher took part in two Super-G races. At the season finale in Schladming, to which he came 55 points behind Swiss Beat Feuz , he fell even more behind after the descent (in which he did not take part, while Feuz increased his lead by 80 points with second place) . But the next day, in his fourth Super-G start in the World Cup, he reached the first podium finish in third and reduced the deficit to 75 points (because Feuz fell out). With the victory in the giant slalom of the World Cup final - his ninth race won in the 2011/12 season  - Hirscher secured the small crystal ball in this discipline. In addition, he won the overall World Cup prematurely by 25 points , as Feuz did not start in the final slalom. Hirscher retired in the last slalom of the season and thus missed the chance of his third crystal ball, he finally came third in the Slalom World Cup. In October 2012 he was awarded the Skieur d'Or by the International Association of Ski Journalists (AIJS) and Austria's Sportsman of the Year by the Association of Austrian Sports Journalists .

2012/13 season

In the 2012/13 season , with the high point of the Alpine World Ski Championships in Schladming, Hirscher won six races in the World Cup even before the World Championships, including four races in slalom, one in giant slalom and the Moscow parallel slalom. At the 2013 World Championships in Schladming , Hirscher secured the gold medal with the Austrian team in his first appearance, the team competition; it was also his first medal at a major event. In the giant slalom he won his first individual medal at a World Cup, the silver one behind Ted Ligety . At the end of the World Cup, he decided the slalom for himself. At the end of the season, Hirscher traveled 149 points ahead of Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal to the World Cup final in Lenzerheide . After the two speed competitions Downhill and Super-G had been canceled or broken off and Svindal had decided not to start in the slalom, Hirscher was confirmed as the successful defending champion two races before the end of the season. In addition, he was only the third athlete after Ingemar Stenmark and Alberto Tomba to finish every slalom of the season on the podium. From his 24 races of the season (including World Championships and the Nor-Am Cup ), Hirscher made it onto the podium 21 times (in the remaining three races he reached the points once, crossed the finish line again and was eliminated once). In the Slalom World Cup, Hirscher was the first athlete to achieve over 900 points in a discipline since the introduction of the new point system in 1991.

2013/14 season

The 2013/14 season began Hirscher with a third place in the giant slalom in Soelden, followed by the first victory in slalom in Levi. In the giant slalom of Val-d'Isère he benefited from a retirement of Ted Ligety and decided the race, as in the previous year, for himself. The next day he was unable to qualify for the second round in slalom due to a serious mistake. Previously, Hirscher had always achieved a podium place in the past 10 slalom competitions. Just before Christmas he won the classic giant slalom from Alta Badia . He was the first Austrian since Christian Mayer in the 1997/98 season to win this race. In contrast to the previous season, his competitors in slalom got a lot closer to him, especially Felix Neureuther . On January 26th, he took 3rd place in the Super Combined from Kitzbühel , after finishing 56th in the Super G. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , he was unable to catch up in the giant slalom on February 19 (from 7th place after the first run) to get into the medal ranks and finished 4th, 0.30 seconds behind bronze . Space. A few days later he succeeded better and after the 9th intermediate place he still won the silver medal in slalom behind Mario Matt .

Towards the end of the season, like last year, he fought a duel for the overall World Cup with Aksel Lund Svindal . Hirscher traveled to the World Cup final in Lenzerheide with a four point lead after neither he nor Svindal had made it onto the podium in the previous races. After the descent, Svindal took the lead with a fifth place (41 points), but remained in the Super-G, which Hirscher finished in a strong 12th place (22 points), with no 16 points. In the last giant slalom of the season, in which Svindal was eliminated in the first run, Hirscher took fourth place. He was now 31 points ahead of Svindal, who then announced that he would not be participating in the slalom. That is why Hirscher secured the large crystal ball for the third time in a row, a feat that only three drivers, and most recently Phil Mahre (1981–1983), had achieved. Hirscher is the first Austrian to do this. However, Hirscher narrowly missed his second victory in the Giant Slalom World Cup after 2012: In the end he was tied with Ted Ligety , but drew the shorter one due to the lower number of wins this season. He missed third place in this final race, which would have been enough for him to win the discipline classification, by a hundredth of a second. On the last race day of the 2013/14 season he won the Slalom World Cup as in the previous season: Having started 5 points behind Felix Neureuther , he fought a high-class fight with his German friend and rival, who came in second had the better end for himself with just under 15 points.

A few days after the World Cup final, he competed one descent for the first time in over five years, but then two in one day: on March 20, he started at the National Championships of Slovenia and Croatia, both of which were held in Innerkrems, to get the necessary results To secure FIS points that would qualify him for participation in World Cup and World Cup downhill runs - probably also with regard to a possible participation in the combined competition at the 2015 World Championships.

2014/15 season

At the beginning of the 2014/15 season, Hirscher secured the first victory in the opening race, the giant slalom on the Rettenbachferner in Sölden . This was also the first victory of an Austrian in this race since Hermann Maier in the 2005/06 season . After a second place in the Levi Slalom and a third in the Beaver Creek Giant Slalom, Hirscher won the Åre Giant Slalom and secured his 25th World Cup victory. Two days later he also won the slalom at the same location and thus regained the lead in the overall World Cup from Kjetil Jansrud . At the same time he equalized the Austrian record of Benjamin Raich and Mario Matt with his 14th slalom success . The exchange of blows with Jansrud continued: The Norwegian won the World Cup back with a victory and a second place in Val Gardena , but soon lost it again to Hirscher, who played in the giant slalom in Alta Badia and (after the turn of the year) in the slalom in Zagreb won. This made him Austria's most successful slalom driver. Hirscher also won the giant slalom at Chuenisbärgli in Adelboden . It was the third giant slalom success in a row for the Salzburg man.

After both Hirscher and Jansrud had not achieved the desired results in Wengen , the Annaberger moved up to second place in the Super Combined from Kitzbühel after finishing 44th in the Super G with a splendid slalom run. He repeated this performance in the special slalom and expanded his World Cup leadership with it. After a disappointing 14th place in the Schladming slalom , Hirscher finally traveled to the world championships in Vail / Beaver Creek as one of the most popular medal favorites . In his very first competition, the Alpine Combined, he won the gold medal: as 30th after the descent, he was the first to start in the slalom and set the fastest time; his total time from downhill and slalom was not undercut by any of the subsequent runners. He made up a gap of more than 3 seconds on Kjetil Jansrud, who was leading after the descent, and who came closest to Hirschers total time as 30th starter in the slalom. Thus, in the Alpine Combined, the two leaders landed on the first two places in the overall World Cup. In addition, he won the gold medal in the team competition together with Christoph Nösig , Michaela Kirchgasser and Eva-Maria Brem . In the giant slalom he won (after leading after run 1) silver behind Ted Ligety , while in the final slalom he was eliminated as the leader after the first round in the decision that had become very difficult for the last starters due to the heavier snowfall.

Hirscher contested his first race in the World Cup after the World Cup in Saalbach , where he finished 17th in the Super-G. His pursuer in the overall World Cup, Kjetil Jansrud, who finished third in this race and had only reached 14th place in the downhill the day before, was only able to catch up 64 points on Hirscher on this speed weekend. On March 1, 2015, Hirscher won the giant slalom in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and was 3.28 seconds ahead of second-placed Felix Neureuther . That was the third largest lead in a men's World Cup giant slalom - only Ingemar Stenmark had won better : The legendary Swede was 4.06 seconds ahead of the Yugoslav Bojan Križaj on February 4, 1979 in Jasná , and on January 7th 1979 in Courchevel with 3.73 seconds ahead of the Swiss Peter Lüscher triumphs. It was Hirscher's 30th World Cup victory and his 7th win of the season. With second place in the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora , he secured his second small crystal ball in this discipline early. With a surprising fourth place in the final Super-G of the season in Méribel , where he was only 9 hundredths of a second short of victory, Hirscher took the perhaps decisive step in the overall World Cup against Kjetil Jansrud, who in this race was "only" 2nd behind Dustin Cook lost twenty important points. Since the Norwegian did not start in the final slalom after the giant slalom held the next day (4th place for Hirscher) because of the deficit in points, the Salzburg man successfully defended the overall title. This made Hirscher the first alpine ski racer to win the overall World Cup four times in a row.

2015/16 season

Hirscher started the 2015/16 World Cup season with third place in the giant slalom in Sölden . On December 5th, he won the Super-G of Beaver Creek and achieved his first World Cup victory in a speed discipline, which remained the ÖSV team's only speed victory until the end of the season. The following day he also won the giant slalom at Beaver Creek and celebrated his 33rd World Cup victory; since it was his 15th success in this discipline, he became the sole Austrian record holder in this regard. A week later, he won the giant slalom in Val d'Isere, taking Aksel Lund Svindal's overall World Cup lead. With this 16th giant slalom triumph he overtook Alberto Tomba in the all-time best list after World Cup victories in this discipline and has since ranked fourth.

With two wins in Val Gardena , Svindal regained the overall World Cup lead. However, Marcel Hirscher countered in Alta Badia , where he won the giant slalom, as in 2013 and 2014. On December 22nd, he finished second in the Madonna di Campiglio slalom: Even a camera drone falling behind him could not prevent him from taking a podium finish. Hirscher took the lead again in the overall World Cup. Svindal was able to regain this lead with a 7th place in the descent from Santa Catarina, but Hirscher responded with places 1 (slalom from Santa Caterina ) and 2 (slalom from Adelboden). It was his 7th podium in a row in the Adelboden slalom. With the slalom victory in Santa Caterina, his 36th World Cup success , Hirscher also drew level with Benjamin Raich , with winning the parallel slalom in Stockholm he was able to overtake him. Thus, measured in terms of World Cup victories, he was the second most successful ski racer of the ÖSV, only Hermann Maier had more victories (54). In the meantime, Svindal had to end the season prematurely due to the serious fall in the Hahnenkamm run.

The weekend in Hinterstoder was successful with 2nd place in the giant slaloms on February 26th and 28th (behind Alexis Pinturault, who was in great shape) and 3rd place in the Super-G (February 27th) in between. With his victory in the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora on March 5, he secured the giant slalom discipline classification and, for the fifth time in a row, the overall classification of the World Cup (thanks to the announcement by his toughest competitors, Kristoffersen and Pinturault, that he would not take part in the subsequent speed races) . On the following day he also won the slalom and thus surpassed his point record in the overall World Cup. However, he had to cede the Slalom World Cup to the Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen . At the end of the season, Hirscher finished sixth in the overall Super-G ranking, placing himself among the top ten runners of the season in this discipline for the first time.

Season 2016/17

Marcel Hirscher in the combined slalom of the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2017 in St.Moritz on February 13, 2017

Hirscher started the new 2016/17 season with second place in the giant slalom in Sölden . He won the next World Cup race, the Levi slalom , and thus celebrated his 40th World Cup victory - catching up with Swiss Pirmin Zurbriggen (active from 1980 to 1990). With his 96th place on the podium in the Val-d'Isère slalom , he moved up to third in the all-time list of the best and caught up with compatriot Hermann Maier . On December 18, 2016, Hirscher won the prestigious Giant Slalom in Alta Badia for the fourth time in a row , which is considered to be the toughest giant slalom in the world. Only Alberto Tomba was able to win this competition four times, but it took seven years (from 1987 to 1994). In the Adelboden slalom , he surpassed Marc Girardelli with his 101st podium and has since been in second place on the all-time best list behind Ingemar Stenmark (155 podium places).

Team Hirscher (from left): Stefan Illek, Michael Pircher , Marcel Hirscher, Josef Percht, Ferdinand Hirscher (2017)

In the slalom of Kitzbühel, after finishing ninth in the first round, he managed to jump on the podium, with which he celebrated his second triumph on the Ganslernhang . Since his big competitor in this discipline, Henrik Kristoffersen, was eliminated in the first round, Hirscher took over and kept the lead in this discipline even after his victory in the Schladming night slalom, which Hirscher finished 9 hundredths behind in second place. With his victory in the giant slalom in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on January 29, 2017, where he won 1.50 seconds ahead of Matts Olsson , he became the second (male) racer in the World Cup behind Ingemar Stenmark, who won 20 or more in two disciplines could record. In addition, he clearly set himself apart from his first rival Alexis Pinturault in this discipline classification . At this point it was remarkable that both Pinturault in the giant slalom (3: 2) and Kristoffersen in the slalom (5: 2) had more victories of the season than Hirscher. However, he almost always finished all races in which he did not win (with the exception of third place and sixth place) in second place behind the first two and, unlike them, never fell out.

Successes were also not lacking at the 2017 Alpine World Ski Championships in St. Moritz : After Hirscher had already contested the Super-G with regard to the combination, he was able to win the silver medal in the first competition and was only a hundredth of a second behind the new world champion Luca Aerni back. In the team competition, he was eliminated with the Austrian team in the quarter-finals, but in the giant slalom the Salzburg man finally struck and was crowned the new world champion in this discipline. He also achieved this success in the slalom competition, where he was already in the lead after the first run. It was thus his sixth world championship title and in terms of the number of medals with a total of nine he has overtaken Toni Sailer , who had achieved eight medals at Alpine World Ski Championships. Only Benjamin Raich was able to conquer even more for the ÖSV with ten World Cup medals. With six gold and three silver medals, Hirscher is now the second most successful athlete at world championships after Toni Sailer (with 7 gold and 1 silver) . Hirscher also became the first male ski racer since Alberto Tomba in 1996 and the first Austrian since Rudolf Nierlich in 1989 to win gold in both slalom and giant slalom at the same world championship.

In the penultimate giant slalom of the season in Kranjska Gora , which he won, Hirscher secured his sixth overall World Cup victory in a row, as he already had more than 500 points ahead of all his pursuers in five races to go, as well as, thanks to the elimination of his competitor Alexis Pinturault , the small crystal ball in the giant slalom. The next day he reached fourth place (in his 200th World Cup start) in slalom. Since his rival for the small crystal ball in this discipline, this time Henrik Kristoffersen, failed to qualify for the second round, this result was enough for Hirscher to take the top spot in this category too. For the second time after 2014/2015 he won the technical double, i.e. the small crystal balls in slalom and giant slalom in one season.

Season 2017/18

At the beginning of the training in August 2017, Hirscher suffered a fractured outer ankle. The timing of his entry into the 2017/18 season was uncertain for a long time, but a start at the traditional glacier opening in Sölden on October 29 was soon ruled out. To Hirscher's advantage, however, the giant slalom had to be canceled due to bad weather, so that he didn't fall behind in points. To the surprise of many, Hirscher was already at the start of the next race, the slalom in Levi on November 12th. After he had achieved 4th place in the first round, he could no longer maintain this performance in the second round and fell back to 17th place. The worse conditions due to the higher starting number, for which the ankle was not yet sufficiently resilient, bothered him.

For the next races overseas, Hirscher initially planned to compete in the Super-G and giant slalom at Beaver Creek . However, after trailing his teammates a long way behind in the first training runs, Hirscher decided against a start in the Super-G in order to be able to continue training in the giant slalom. In addition to the general backlog in training, he mainly had to work on his material and its coordination, as there had been some changes in the FIS material regulations for this season. Hirscher won the giant slalom after finishing third in the first round. In the following week, Hirscher again made it onto the giant slalom podium. In Val-d'Isère he was in the lead after the first run, and after a faulty run he saved third place. In the slalom, Hirscher drove to victory after finishing eighth.

On December 17th, Hirscher won the giant slalom in Alta Badia for the fifth time in a row with a 1.7 second lead, taking the lead in the overall World Cup for the first time this season, tied with Aksel Lund Svindal . With the victory in the penultimate competition of 2017, the slalom of Madonna di Campiglio , Hirscher took the sole lead in the overall World Cup, already secured at the turn of the year. On New Years Day he took the lead in the Slalom World Cup with a 5th place in the Oslo City Event . In the Zagreb slalom, he drew level with Alberto Tomba with his 50th World Cup victory . With his 51st World Cup victory in the giant slalom in Adelboden , Hirscher overtook the Italian . Hirscher also won the slalom in Adelboden. In Wengen he won the slalom for the first time. This was his 25th slalom win and his fifth in a row, a feat that only four other ski racers ( Ingemar Stenmark , Alberto Tomba, Marc Girardelli and Giorgio Rocca ) had achieved. After he had to settle for second place behind long-term rival Kristoffersen in Kitzbühel, he won the night slalom in Schladming for the first time since 2012 and equaled Hermann Maier's best Austrian men's record with his 54th victory in the World Cup . On January 28, 2018, he won the giant slalom in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and is therefore considered the most successful Austrian ski racer. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , he won gold medals in combined and giant slalom. In the final slalom he was eliminated, but he did not start in the team competition, which was held at the Olympic Games for the first time.

With the victory in the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora on March 3rd, Hirscher secured the giant slalom championship early. The following day, Hirscher also won the slalom and thus secured - also ahead of schedule - the overall slalom and World Cup rankings (the latter for the seventh time in a row). On March 17th, Hirscher won the giant slalom in Åre and with it his 13th World Cup race of the season, which equalized the record of Hermann Maier ( 2000/01 ) and Ingemar Stenmark ( 1978/79 ). The next day Hirscher would have had the opportunity to improve this record to 14 victories in the last race of the season, the Åre slalom. However, this had to be canceled due to a storm, which ended the season. Hirscher won 6 of 7 giant slaloms and 7 of 9 slaloms, thus achieving victory rates of 85.7% and 77.7% in the respective disciplines and winning a total of 81.25% of all technical races of the season.

Season 2018/19

At the beginning of the season, Hirscher won the Levi slalom. Then he finished second in the giant slalom at Beaver Creek behind Stefan Luitz . However, the entire DSV team had been supplied with oxygen from the bottle before both rounds, which is a clear violation of the FIS rules. Luitz was subsequently stripped of the victory on January 10th and awarded to Hirscher, whereas Luitz lodged a complaint with the Sports Court (CAS). On March 15th, the German from the CAS got right and got his first World Cup victory back.

At the beginning of December, the Salzburg native won the giant slalom in Val-d'Isere. At the giant slalom in Alta Badia on December 16, Hirscher won with a 2.53 second lead in a superior manner. To date, this is the biggest advantage a ski racer has in this race. On December 17th, Hirscher won the parallel giant slalom in Alta Badia and drew level with Annemarie Moser-Pröll with his 62nd World Cup victory . Only Ingemar Stenmark (86) and Lindsey Vonn (82) have won more races. This victory was also Hirscher's first victory in a parallel RTL. With the victory in the slalom in Saalbach-Hinterglemm , Hirscher won his 63rd World Cup victory on December 20, overtaking his compatriot from Salzburg, Moser-Pröll, and is now Austria's most successful skier in World Cup victories. This means that Hirscher had six wins in the 2018/19 season after seven starts. Another victory followed in Zagreb on January 6th, his 5th in this place, the 30th in slalom. On January 12th and 13th, as in 2012 and the previous year, he won both technology competitions in Adelboden and thus celebrated his World Cup victories number 65 and 66. He won World Cup victory number 67 on January 29, 2019 at the night slalom event in Schladming. This victory was the third for him at this night event after 2012 and 2018. With nine victories this season and a superior lead in the overall World Cup (almost 500 points), Hirscher traveled to Åre as the top favorite for the Alpine World Ski Championships. There he won silver in the giant slalom discipline (he started after illness), with which he set the ÖSV record of ten world championship medals won by Benjamin Raich (only Kjetil André Aamodt won even more at 12). In the final slalom, he won gold and thus became the most successful alpine ski racer in the history of the world championships (7 gold, 4 silver), a record previously held by Toni Sailer for 60 years. With second place in the giant slalom in Bansko behind Henrik Kristoffersen, he won the giant slalom World Cup for the sixth time. Towards the end of the season, Hirscher could no longer build on the performances of the previous months and after the night slalom in Schladming in January no more World Cup races.

resignation

After the 2016/17 season, Hirscher announced that it was not certain whether he would continue his career, but then changed his mind in the summer. After the 2017/18 season, which ended for him with a small ball in slalom, giant slalom and the overall World Cup, Marcel Hirscher was again unsure whether he wanted to continue his career. As in the previous season, he announced in the summer that he would continue driving for another year. He also signed a new equipment contract with Atomic until 2020.

After the 2018/19 season there was again speculation about a possible resignation. First, Hirscher set a press conference for August 6th, which he canceled again. Then he called a new press conference for September 6th, at which he wanted to finally announce whether he would drive another season in the World Cup. The Kronenzeitung, official partner of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV), published an article the week before the press conference, according to which his resignation was a done deal. There were also other reasons why Hirscher could resign. He hadn't started training at the end of August and wasn't in the training camp with the ÖSV. Ted Ligety fueled speculation when he suggested on Instagram that Hirscher would end his career. As part of an ORF special broadcast on September 4, 2019 by Brauhaus Gusswerk in Hof near Salzburg , he officially announced his resignation in front of 150 journalists from home and abroad.

After the career

On May 21, 2020, Hirscher presented the television program A Summer in Austria - Holidays in red-white-red on ORF 2 .

Records

Series

Marcel Hirscher won the overall World Cup eight times in a row from 2012 to 2019. The previous record winner of the large crystal ball, Marc Girardelli , won the overall standings five times (most recently in 1992/93 ), but needed nine winters to do so. More than three times in a row ( Gustav Thöni 1970 / 71–1972 / 73, Ingemar Stenmark 1975 / 76–1977 / 78 and Phil Mahre 1980 / 81–1982 / 83) no male skier had made it before.

In the 2012/13 World Cup season , Hirscher finished all slaloms (including two city ​​events ) on the podium - a feat that only Ingemar Stenmark ( 1975/76 ) and Alberto Tomba ( 1991/92 ) had previously achieved. In the 2017/18 season he also managed this in the giant slalom, which Stenmark did four times ( 1977/1978 , 1978/79 , 1979/80 and 1980/81 ) and Tomba (1991/92) and Ted Ligety (2012/13) once each succeeded.

His 13 World Cup victories in the 2017/18 season also mean a record that he shares with Ingemar Stenmark (1978/79) and Hermann Maier ( 2000/01 ). In the 2018 calendar year, however, with 14 victories across all seasons, he surpassed Stenmarks' record (1977 and 1979) by one triumph.

Hirscher was the first athlete to win three medals each at three different world championships ( 2013 gold in slalom and team competition and silver in giant slalom, 2015 gold in combination and team competition as well as silver in giant slalom, 2017 gold in giant slalom and slalom and silver in combination). He was also the first male ski racer to win gold medals at four consecutive world championships. Since the Alpine World Ski Championships in Åre 2019, Hirscher has been the most successful participant in the history of Alpine World Ski Championships with 7 gold and 4 silver. The objection that two of his gold medals were won in the team competition is offset by the fact that the previous record holder Toni Sailer did not have to race his own for his two gold medals in the Alpine Combined - they resulted from the top positions in downhill, giant slalom and slalom.

World Cup points

Hirscher holds the record for most World Cup points achieved in both giant slalom and slalom since the reform of the FIS points system for the 1991/92 season. In the overall standings he is in second place behind Benjamin Raich . He also set new records within one season. He won the Slalom World Cup in 2012/13 with 960 points and exceeded the old record set by Alberto Tomba (1991/92) by 140 points. In the Giant Slalom World Cup 2015/16 he scored 766 points and beat Michael von Grünigen's record (739) from the 1995/96 season .

In the 2017/18 season, Hirscher competed in 20 races and won a total of 1620 World Cup points, which with 81 points means the best average of all overall World Cup winners since the rule change (1991/92). A similar efficiency had previously distinguished him in winter 2012/13 when he was able to achieve 1535 points (an average of 76.75 points per competition) in 20 races. Of all the winners of the large crystal ball, Hermann Maier came closest to these values ​​in 1997/98 when he scored an average of 73.26 points per race.

Others

In the 2012/13 season he was the first runner since Luc Alphand ( 1996/97 ) to win the overall World Cup with points from just two disciplines. On February 8, 2015 Hirscher won in Beaver Creek the world title in the combination by outdated still 29 competitors after rank 30 in the downhill with the fastest time in the slalom. This was previously only Mario Matt in January 2007 at the World Cup in Wengen succeeded and was at the World Cup in 2017 in St. Moritz by Luca Aerni equalized.

Hirscher is a record winner at nine World Cup venues: He won nine times in Adelboden ( Chuenisbärgli ), eight times in Alta Badia ( Gran Risa ), seven times in Val-d'Isère ( Face de Bellevarde ), and in Kranjska Gora ( Vitranc ) - like Ted Ligety - six times, in Zagreb ( Sljeme ) five times, in Schladming ( Planai ) like Benjamin Raich and Henrik Kristoffersen four times, in Levi ( Levi Black ) three times and in Bansko twice. In Moscow , no athlete has won more than once. His record in Adelboden also marks the record for most World Cup victories in one and the same place. The best marks in Alta Badia or Zagreb and Adelboden mean the records for the most giant slalom or slalom victories in one place, which he achieved with Ted Ligety (six giant slaloms in Kranjska Gora) and Ingemar Stenmark (five slaloms each in Kitzbühel and Madonna di Campiglio ) and Alberto Tomba (five slaloms in Sestriere ). In addition, with 16 podium places in Adelboden, he also holds the record for the most podium finishes in one place.

Hirscher was the only athlete to date to win three World Cup parallel races (two city events in Moscow in 2013 and Stockholm in 2016 and a parallel giant slalom in Alta Badia in 2018).

Hirscher won a total of 20 crystal balls, including eight times the overall world cup and six times the discipline world cup in giant slalom and slalom, making it the men's record holder.
