Skiing legend discloses joyful baby announcement, including revelation regarding the child's gender
Hannes Reichelt, one of the most successful ski racers of his generation, has become a proud father of two boys. The joyful news was announced on the athlete's social media channels, with a heartwarming photo of Reichelt and his older son Niklas, who was born in 2019, pushing a stroller.
Reichelt, who retired from skiing in the spring of 2021, got married to his wife Larissa Hofer, a successful ski racer and now a doctor, in 2016. Since then, the couple has been enjoying their time together and looking forward to the adventures ahead.
The arrival of their second son has brought double joy, double chaos, and double love into the Reichelt household. Many former and active ski stars, including Tamara Tippler, Marc Digruber, and Manuela Mölgg, sent congratulations to the family. Mölgg, a recent mother herself, was particularly happy for the Reichelt family.
Reichelt's career was marked by numerous victories. He won 13 World Cup races, including a victory in the Hahnenkamm downhill in 2014 and a world championship title in super-G in 2015 in Beaver Creek. In 2014, he played a leading role in the film "One Hell of A Ride" about the famous Kitzbühel race.
Since retiring, Reichelt has been fully focused on his family. His daily life remains exciting and varied, with two young sons to look after. The name of the second child has not been publicly disclosed in the provided sources.
The Reichelt family's new member was a surprise to the athlete's fans and companions, but it's clear that they are overjoyed with the addition to their family. The Reichelt family looks forward to many more adventures together and the continued joy that their two boys will bring.
