AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Alpine skiing great Marcel Hirscher is looking to make an unexpected comeback to the slopes, made even more surprising by his decision to represent his mother native's country the Netherlands instead of Austria.
Born in Austria in 1989, Hirscher has a Dutch mother and an Austrian father and holds both nationalities himself. He represented Austria throughout his career.
