Courchevel delivers Sofia to the history of blue skiing, at the end of another troubled year, but full of satisfactions. Even if the Bergamo woman now admits that the absolute crystal ball had been in her thoughts all right, before Cortina. "Today I didn't know about Suter's result at the time of leaving. The super-g tomorrow? Let's see, I should be there."

A joy after so much suffering, the one he had to manage after the injury in Cortina that could have ended his season prematurely and, with it, also that downhill World Cup which he instead won again.
Sofia Goggia wrote "3" in the trophy box of a discipline that already sees it among the greatest in history, at the end of a year that had seen it dominate until the fall of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, which 'has seen four successes and, of course, with the Olympic silver pearl in those conditions.
In Courchevel, on the day of a descent ended in 12th position but still disputed at a very high level, even looking at the gaps of this challenge on the "Eclipse", Sofia lets herself go after the triumph, with a "confession" linked to the Cup of the absolute World which, as evidenced by the average points held until that famous 23 January on the Olympia delle Tofane, could have been played and how.
"I win the cup with a hundred points margin, disputing practically two less, I think it is deserved and I cannot deny that the pressure was there - Sofia's words to Rai Sport microphones - I stood it, because yesterday I didn't I was not at all centered in practice, but in the evening I managed to recover and I did my race. No, I didn't know of Corinne's time and that I had already won. From Cortina onwards it was a pain, I skied fewer km than the other athletes, but today it was enough to finish in front of Corinne and when I saw the scoreboard, I knew at that moment that it was done.
With the results of the beginning of the season, I also thought of something “bigger” than the small globe of specialties, but with what happened to the knee that's okay, also thinking about the result of the Olympics ”.
