"It's Not Possible at the Moment": Ski Racing Legend Calls Off Comeback Just Weeks Before Olympics

The ski racing legend Marcel Hirscher, who was mounting a comeback bid at 36 after his retirement of five years, is no longer shooting for this winter's Olympics.

Hirscher has competed in three Winter Games, amassing three medals across multiple disciplines, two of which were gold.

But now, he said in a video update, “The truth is it's not possible at the moment,” referring to his return to ski racing.

“The pace which I can go right now is not on a World Cup level,” he continued.
