He has a 2-3 ruptured/compressed discs in his back, and he has a problematic hip labrum {like might need more surgery}. He turns 32 this summer. This has been rough on the body.
I hope that we'll see him make a comeback, but he has a lot going on in his life, and I would not be shocked it this is the end of a career, and the start of a bunch of other ventures for him.
On a side note, I'm of the opinion that we won't see Hirscher racing when he's 30. We might see Kristofferson done before then....despite saying that he'd like to race into his mid-thirties as of late. Hirscher said a couple of years ago that he would retire at 30. Might be sooner. He turns 27 in a couple of months. He might be part of a long list of 2018 retirees.
It's a real grind. It's hard. The guys at the top make a lot of money, and are exposed to a lot of other business opportunities. This is a different world that when a Euro star retired to run his own small hillside inn. Ligety is bright guy, and he's already got a neat business with Shred. Hirscher, I'm told is smart and exceptionally personable.....and very interested in the business world. HK is still very young.
We'll see. These guys who have a lot of years on the tour, starting when they are very young show their wear and tear the they are Ligety's age, |
