Thank You, Mario!❤️ ## Retirement of Nordic Combined Legend Mario Seidl After 14 incredible years on the Nordic Combined World Cup circuit, Austrian athlete Mario Seidl has announced his retirement from the sport.

We wish Mario all the best in his future endeavors and hope to see him involved in the sport in some capacity in the years to come.
