Sofia Goggia: "We grew up in the Lindsey Vonn era, we competed with a sacred monster"

From Sofia.org the statements by Sofia Goggia, author of a floral tribute to Lindsey Vonn, and some of the blue women who competed in the women's super-G in Cortina d'Ampezzo ".

Sofia Goggia: "I'm very happy to be here in Cortina, it was not in my predictions, but this morning I woke up at 6.30 and I told myself that I could not miss the last race on Lindsey Vonn Olympia, I think I lost all the points of the license because I arrived here very fast, I love it, so I came to breathe a bit 'the World Cup climate, then next week I will test my foot in the Garmisch trials and see how go, but I live a lot in the here and now She (Lindsey, ed) was crying at the finish line, then Cortina is her favorite track.We do not realize the sports icon that is Lindsey Vonn, she won 82 Cup races Mondo and we have had the good fortune to compete with a sacred monster of this sport, we can tell it in fifty years.I always look at it with the eyes of the little girl who admired her on television, even though last year we fought together in World Cup and I blew the cup at the last race. I saw the images of the homage that Cortina gave her and I felt her emotion. I miss skiing a lot, put the bib, feel the ski in the corners, feel it in his soul, open the gate. But to do this, I want to be sure that I am in the right condition first ". Federica Brignone: "I'm not so satisfied, it's those super-G which leave you bitter in the mouth, those that you either interpret perfectly or you feel like going up and doing it again. 'there was space between the doors, all the technical part was really very easy except one door, where they came out the Stuhec and the other: there was the hairpin, if you want to pass you must stop, I seem to have skied pretty well in the technical part, I came all easy, but those are super-G that if you are easy is because you're not fast enough.Then there is an aggressive snow from Scarpadon Rumerlo, is that snow that takes you and you run away and you do not understand what are you under your feet, there I did a half spinning before Rumerlo, where Nicol Delago came out, and I played all the speed in the final part where I lost so much as always.It depends on how fast you get from Scarpadon to Rumerlo, everything went well until Scarpadon, then there was this spinning and in Rumerlo I was very slow and almost did not even jump ". Elena Curtoni: "I was a bit wrong before the Rumerlo, I was a bit 'abundant .. Slowly I'm getting back to my level, I'm already in training, I just have to bring it back in the race. now I need to realize, to see myself smiling at the finish line and to see that I can make it, I know that I can, but when you have the result in your hands you can free yourself more easily ". Nadia Fanchini: "I'm so sorry, I do not know what to say, both the Val Gardena weekend that I have not given anything, I'm not skiing badly, but maybe I'm a bit 'of anxiety, I'm not so free, not For me it was just a bad race, I have a super gap, I have no words ". Nicol Delago: "I have no continuity and that is my goal, to be able to do well a whole track.It shows that I have yet to grow and do some 'experience to be able to better manage especially the dry race, because in superG There's one, my sister Nadia, she was quiet.
