For Sofia Goggia the 2019/2020 season has already started a long time ago, with a rich and very intense summer preparation in the second half of May.
To change from the usual routine, the 26-year-old Bergamo champion has decided to participate, on the morning of Saturday 1 June, at the Cavi-Sestri; it is a historical competition for the world of swimming, in the heart of the Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante, with 3 km of open water and hundreds of participants who found themselves next to them one of the stars of the blue ski, ready to resume the '' activities on the snow at the end of the month, with the first gathering on the Stelvio.
"I decided to include swimming in my preparation to diversify fatigue and fight boredom," Sofia told her Secolo XIX colleagues, who arrived in Liguria on Friday afternoon with her father Enzo. "How was the idea born? I was swimming on vacation in Mauritius and in the middle of the sea I had fantastic feelings. So I wondered why not try to compete? I am an agonist, even if I do it just for pleasure in this case after the first block of training ".
Goggia has unveiled some other news for its summer program: “I have also added the acrobatics with the work on the trampoline which is also very funny, a former high-level gymnast like Irene Castelli, who attended the Sydney Olympics. The objective is clearly to improve the coordination of the body even in flight. At the same time, I decreased the weight-related part: I have strong legs and my skier's body tends to swell as soon as she enters the gym. I feel better and more toned, I lost 5 kg and starting to run even more, even if with the work I will do for the fast races I will recover a couple of kg. My base of operations has remained in Verona, I'm going back to Bergamo for the weekend and I'm really happy with the news. "
