The fall in the Altenmarkt-Zauchensee descent, in addition to costing very heavy points for the World Cup dream, left Sofia a lot of blows, without however serious consequences thinking about the race on Sunday already.

A series that is interrupted at the most beautiful moment, when the poker seemed to have been served (at that point, there were 2-3 tenths of an advantage over Lara Gut-Behrami, then winner of the race).
For Sofia Goggia no first victory on a track, that of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, which she never loved too much but which she had sewn on herself with two perfect tests, proving that she has now reached such an important level as to start favored in any technical context. The flight in the nets, due to the gleaned one suffered at the entrance to the carousel of corners in the woods, could have caused much more damage on a physical level, and if the points lost in the downhill World Cup are relative, given the absence Johnson's (which remains at -60 pt) and with the other rivals far beyond 100 lengths, those for the general are much heavier.
At 309 points behind Shiffrin, in the pits in this speed block that will last until the end of January (we could only see the American in Cortina, but it is not certain), for Sofia the opportunity was very tempting to even get close to Vlhova, 26th. There will be a red bib to defend on Sunday in super-g as well, with the same Bergamo who spoke of her doubts about the next Austrian race, given the "blows" suffered in the impact, through the FISI press office once back to the hotel. "It is a big shame what happened - said Sofia referring to what happened - There in the compression I think I took a dossettino, I started one ski and I lost the other, I practically did 100 km / h at 0 in ... a second and a half.
I'm sorry because I was going strong, I'm very sore and bruised but whole. This afternoon I will do all the necessary therapies and tomorrow I will try to be at the gate, seeing a bit 'also how I am ".
