Wednesday 7 October 2020 3 minutes reading time
The event to toast the centenary of the Italian Winter Sports Federation was the occasion for the blue peaks of the movement to tell their story on the eve of the 2020/21 season, very close especially for alpine skiing athletes.
Saturday 17 October, the female giant from Soelden will open the new World Cup and Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia will leave with many ambitions, not necessarily linked to the opening on the Rettenbach. The holder of the absolute crystal ball had already said she was concerned, speaking at a Panathlon award ceremony, about the anti Covid protocols implemented by the FIS, with the doubt that positivity during the season could affect the entire cup calendar. "In recent months I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to train and stay in shape, so I am prepared even if perhaps too little is missing in Soelden - the words released yesterday by Fede to physi.org - I think that no alteta can feel ready for the inaugural giant, which is also one week early.
It will not be a problem, however, it is a race that has a history of its own, regardless of the result it will be a long season to reach our goals ”.
And Sofia Goggia, who in the giant must rediscover the ancient sensations, even if in the last year she sent some important signals in this sense, explains that "leaving on October 17 is early and I sincerely missed the block in Argentina, where there is always quantity and quality. We will try to set fire to the wood we will have - the battle cry of the Bergamo-based company - making the most of the situations that arise ".
