In “The Red Bulletin” the 33-year-old talks about his desire to be overwhelmed – also about beer benches, Sunday drivers and his role as Daddy Cool. Hirscher also makes people sit up and take notice with critical statements about the ski circus: “I’m convinced that I’ll still see that you can’t deal with athletes like I did in my day. The word ‘yourself’ will come to the fore.”
Hirscher continues: “As a skier, you’re sold. That does something to you. In a certain way, I was the slave of others. I almost felt my way to the pain limit of the system. And yet: today it’s completely unimaginable how I endured it! The team I was with was put in front of me,” said the double Olympic champion, describing his life as an active player. Motorsport was, so to speak, a “valve”. “Even as teenagers we admired those who had picked an Erzberg starting number on their bikes.”
