Biography

Marcel Hirscher is an Austrian former World Cup alpine ski racer, now active for the Netherlands. Hirscher made his World Cup debut in March 2007. He competed primarily in slalom and giant slalom, as well as combined and occasionally in super G. Winner of a record eight consecutive World Cup titles, Hirscher has also won 11 medals at the Alpine Skiing World Championships, seven of them gold, a silver medal in slalom at the 2014 Winter Olympics, and two gold medals in the combined and giant slalom at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Due to his record number of overall titles and many years of extreme dominance of both slalom and giant slalom, he is considered to be the best alpine skier in history. He won a total of 67 World Cup races, ranking second on the male all-time list. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
