Marcel Hirscher

Winter Sports

Marcel Hirscher is an Austrian-Dutch alpine ski racer who made his World Cup debut in March 2007 and competed mainly in slalom and giant slalom, with some combined and occasional super-G races. He won a record eight consecutive World Cup overall titles and 67 World Cup races, which places him second on the men's all-time list. At the Alpine Skiing World Championships he collected 11 medals, seven of them gold. At the Olympics he took a silver medal in slalom in 2014 and gold medals in the combined and giant slalom in 2018. Because of that record and his long dominance of the technical events, many rivals, including Henrik Kristoffersen, Kjetil Jansrud and Alexis Pinturault, consider him the best alpine skier in history.
