Sofia Goggia: "That child who skied Foppolo fulfilled her dream"

Taken from fisi.org the statements of the new Olympic descent champion, the first in history for Italy: Sofia Goggia.

"I have been training all summer and even though I have not been able to do what I should have done in the last few days, the important thing is what you want at the gate and the result you want to achieve." I knew I could do it. Giant warm up and I said to myself: 'Come on today is your day' Then it is clear that you have to get to the finish line, I am very happy, even though I have not yet realized I have a gold medal. The descent of maturity: what helps me downhill is to trust one's feet, and today I had this feeling from the middle up.That girl who skied Foppolo and who dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion made her But it does not change anything, those who love me will love me anyway .. I am very pleased to be the first Italian to win the Olympic gold medal downhill, but we are a team that is rewriting the story: Brignone, the Aspen's hat-trick ... Today I had so much concentrating on what I had to do and what I did, and even now that it's all over I can not really realize what happened. My level of attention is still too high. "Lindsey Vonn definitely left to win, but I wanted to do the same, and I told her in Garmisch: 'Korea, Korea.' And this time the victory is mine."
