The blue giant leaves with 90 bibs in the World Cup and that 4th place in Soelden 2015, a few months after having touched the world podium in Beaver Creek. The ordeal of the last year, after the races in Bansko in February 2021 which will remain his career finale.

Roberto Nani has decided. Enough with competitive skiing, after having tried in a thousand ways to return, despite the now chronic back problems and the intervention of last year.
At 33, the specialist from Livigno officially leaves the white circus, he who in the last 12 months has no longer been able to compete, after the two World Cup giants played at the end of February 2021 in Bansko, ending up under the knife and putting skis at the end of last summer, without regaining those sensations necessary to compete at the highest levels.
On the other hand, as long as the physicist supported him, Nani was an excellent protagonist of the national team, a reference point for the giant in the years of Max Blardone's career finale, obtaining the best result in the World Cup (90 i total bibs worn in the maximum circuit) in that splendid 2015, 4th in Soelden after touching the world podium, sixth in Beaver Creek in the giant world champion of the previous month of February.
An Olympic participation, in Sochi 2014, and the feeling that without all those back problems, in the midst of competitive maturity, things could have gone very differently.

Rulfi rassicura sulla situazione di Goggia: Non sentiva di potersi allenare, ma non c'è stato nulla di traumatico
Alla Gazzetta dello Sport, il direttore tecnico della nazionale femminile ha aggiunto qualche dettaglio sui motivi del rientro anticipato di Sofia dal Sudamerica, rinunciando al blocco in Cile che era previsto dopo quanto di buono fatto per due settimane abbondanti a Ushuaia specialmente sul gigante. Nelle prossime ore gli accertamenti medici: Non li abbiamo fatti in Argentina perchè non c'era la possibilità di approfondire al meglio.
