And Hans Weber, one of the strongest German ice skaters, talks about the 2025 season. The reason for this is the fallout from previous years and important operations.
In January 2023, Hans Weber injured his left hand and had to give up his comeback attempt just six weeks after surgery at the World Cup final in Inzell.
The Bavarian was reportedly fit again for the 2024 season, starting in both the league and World Cup qualifiers in Sweden and putting in impressive performances in each case. But at the first Grand Prix in Inzell, Weber’s season ended in a crash. The result was broken ribs, bruises and a bruised kidney and Weber’s season ended early again.
While the first drivers are already training in Sweden, “Eishans”, as Weber is called by his fans, spoke on social networks. “After careful consideration and consultation with my team, I have decided not to participate in the 2025 ice season. Inzell’s severe fall this year set me back in my preparations,” Schlierseer said. “In addition, after the injury I got during the fall in Sweden in January 2023, the titanium plate is still in my hand. It needs to be removed quickly in the next few weeks, which prohibits the start of the new season. We will definitely see each other again, I will be in Inzell on March 15 and 16 soon.
