The comebacks of Marcel Hirscher and Lucas Braathen delight ski fans. In the countries for which they are now starting, the euphoria is limited. Former Dutch skier Maarten Meiners says: “Marcel will have a hard time skating.” And former Brazilian slalom and giant slalom specialist Jhonatan Longhi says about Lucas Braathen: “He is still very unknown in Brazil.”
Maarten Meiners, who was present as a moderator at Marcel’s first public appearance as an Oranje athlete on July 24 at SnowWorld Zoetermeer, says: “The media coverage has not been great so far this week. There will also be no orange fan invasion in Spielberg like Formula 1 superstar Max Verstappen, because his start was uncertain for a long time. In general, Marcel will have a hard time skating in the winter. That is just extremely important to us.”
