The blue technical director takes stock of Sofia's Olympic attempt. "For sure she will not be a giant, the men who will arrive first in China will tell us if there will be the possibility of being able to train her in a certain way in the previous days. Everything, however, will depend on her conditions".

An extraordinary run-up to five circles, with caution but also that ferocious determination that distinguishes it.
And alongside the medical team that has already told Sofia Goggia that yes, you can at least try to be at the start of the Olympic descent on February 15th, there is also a technician who has led the Bergamo team in recent years. towards the most beautiful triumphs. An important relationship, the one between Gianluca Rulfi and the Italian leader, so much so that the national women's director ran to Milan yesterday to personally assess Sofia's situation a few hours after the accident in Cortina.
At the "Gazzetta dello Sport", the coach from Cuneo had his say on the possible recovery of the reigning Olympic champion: "We have half hope, then we will see day by day how Sofia is and if and how she can recover - she explains - For absurd, there would also be room for her for the slalom on February 9, but the giant (first race for women, Monday 7) in any case will not. For the super-g (February 11) we will see, it would allow us to test the track. And in any case, if he starts, he will do it as a competitive athlete, not with crutches ".
Hypothesis for the departure to China, also considering that on February 4 Sofia would be designated to act as standard-bearer at the opening ceremony? Impossible to do now. “The men, arriving first, will tell us if the training tracks of the Games will be suitable for the work at the speed that he will need - adds Rulfi - but always if he should be in a position to do so. First he will have to be physically well, then he will think about the rest ".
