The next day is that of the overall analysis of the situation and the assessment of recovery times.
All in all, this is also what emerges from the words of those who know Sofia Goggia's situation well, considering the thousand injuries in the past, it also went quite well in the future due to the severity of an injury, the fracture of the lateral tibial plate of the knee. right remedied Sunday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which does not involve a crusader who would have been a huge problem even in the Olympic season.
The blue arrow, on the other hand, will have plenty of time to prepare for next season in the best possible way, passing this afternoon from an unforeseen intervention, but that Sofia herself has decided to do to make the most of the forced stop period: always at the La Madonnina clinic in Milan, where she has been hospitalized since last night, and which will almost certainly leave Tuesday morning, the Olympic champion will undergo an operation to remove the plaque present in her left arm, used last year to reduce the fracture in the radius remedied in the super g of Garmisch (always the “cursed” place of Goggia).
The president of the FISI medical commission, Dr. Andrea Panzeri, explained the situation to Stefano De Agostini's Rai microphones. It is good to clarify that Sofia's season is over in any case, without the willingness to take any risk to try to get on track at the mid-March finals in Lenzerheide, given that the times are not there and it takes two months for one full recovery. “We were afraid of an injury to the anterior cruciate, which has already been reconstructed twice - the words of Dr. Panzeri - In reality we have therefore detected a compound fracture which is not very important from a purely anatomical point of view.
He doesn't need surgery, but he'll keep Sofia still for at least six weeks if all goes well; there is also a first and second degree injury to the medial collateral, it is obvious that the regret is linked to the fact that this happened a few days before the home World Cup. Not having broken the crusader, I repeat, is the positive side of this bad situation ”.
