With the conquest of the Downhill World Cup, Goggia decided to stop to recover completely on a physical and mental level. "My keystone in terms of technical solidity passes from working in giant leagues, as at the start of this season".

Sofia Goggia's year ended like this, with the descent of the Courchevel finals ended in 12th place, but which gave her the third crystal ball of her career, well deserved after dominating the speed season up to Cortina.
Since the accident of 23 January everything has changed, so much so that the Bergamo-based player has not won anymore and has also given up on the last two super-gs, that of Lenzerheide and of the cup finals scheduled today, in addition to the last four giants, from Kronplatz in Lenzerheide via Are and the final challenge on Sunday. Here, the giant that seemed to be the way to really play it with Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova in the general World Cup key, considered the scary points average in fast disciplines held up until the fall of Zauchensee first and then of Cortina.
Sofia admitted it yesterday in the post-race: "I had a thought about the biggest globe". Will we be able to try again next season? Probably yes, but right between the wide doors it will be necessary to put together a quality work that will help the 2018 Olympic champion also in "her" specialties. Goggia herself talked about it in the last few hours: “The giant allows me to have a solid technical base for speed. I am an athlete who does not need so much that they teach me the curves at speed, but more how to deal with them because I already create enough speed of my own.
I always try to learn, but my keystone is in the technical solidity that all the giant work allowed me to express at the beginning of the season ”.
Appointment already fixed in Soelden ...

Scheib rientra in Europa dopo 29 giorni tra Argentina e Cile: Un lavoro molto buono. Sarà lei la favorita a Soelden
La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
