Sofia Goggio after falling in super G.
“I have no tears after thirty hours of crying. But there is still unbearable pain and sadness inside. My heart is screaming. “
With these words, Goggio described her feelings a year ago. On social networks, on February 2, 2021, she commented on the fall in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which deprived her of the World Championships in Cortina.
The Italian did not fall on the slope at the time, but next to him. Shortly after the organizers canceled the super G in Ga-Pa, she went down to the finish line. The unfortunate fall meant the premature end of the season.
She fell much worse in Cortina on Sunday. She didn’t manage her speed or the outer ski, she made the line and the physics finally threw her into the air by hitting her head on the piste and framing one of the gates of the super-giant slalom.

Italian commentators shuddered, suspecting that their greatest Olympic medal hope was in trouble.
Although the 29-year-old Goggio went to the finish line on her own, she immediately traveled to Milan for examinations. Puma from Bergamo, as Goggio’s nickname sounds, heard the best news at the clinic.
“Investigations revealed damage to the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee, which she had operated on in 2013. In addition, she suffered a fracture in her tibia,” the Italian media reported.
Goggio knows what it’s like to chase her opponents and precious time. On the track even when he is lying in bed and rehabilitating.

Already today, the first exercises should start one of the most important races with relentless time. With February 15 on the calendar, when the Olympic Congress in Beijing is on the program.
“I will start rehabilitation in the next few hours. We will try to prepare and defend gold in the discipline I love the most.
I’m sorry because it came at a very important time of the season, “Goggio said after the examinations.
Her prognosis for recovery is favorable so far. A three-week break from the competition and the bulldogs, the nature of the Italian sovereign in speed disciplines suggests that she will actually travel to Beijing.
Will Goggio’s next nightmare end in Beijing’s happy ending?
