Beijing 2022 Olympics, Goggia, from tears to the track: the post on social media

Sofia Goggia will be there: the last test (fourth fastest time for her) gave her further confidence to face tomorrow’s downhill in the best possible way. This is demonstrated by her long post published on her Instagram in which she retraces the stages of the difficult path that led her to recover in time for the Beijing 2022 Olympic descent.

“It is the parterre in Cortina that falls silent in a few seconds. And it is the embrace with my old friends that I held in and that enveloped me in the hotel reception, before flying to Milan. It is their words that they invite me to hold on to my head. And it is the deep suffering I feel in my desperate heart. It is the endless tears in the helicopter and it is the result of the resonances that I do not want to hear, but that will touch me to know. It is a wounded crusader who has I need time, and time is what I don’t have. It is yet another scream that would be natural to hurl against the sky, and it is instead the strength, the light that you know how to find inside you and that will not make you lose your temper. It’s February 1st, your team’s departure day for the Olympics, and it’s the tears in the gym, limping, at the thought of not also being at the airport with them. It’s the messages of affection from a nation and it’s the love that follows, it is the trust of those who have been close to me, but it is a d vintage race against time. It is the biological healing time that you do not have, and it is the biology of the beliefs that you rely on. “

“These are the incredible progress, and the Games that begin, when you haven’t touched the Snow yet. They are the first uncertain corners and it is the countdown of the days to the descent you have decided to participate in.” This is the greatest test that the life has ever brought me “, I whisper through tears at the physio … The other day, when I entered the house to do the reconnaissance of the first test, I looked at those five circles and the writing of # beijing2022: I had an explosion of happiness in my heart. I would not want to be anywhere else but here !! Because the Olympics are the place where every athlete would like to be …. Oh, that dream of mine in my heart since I was a child! Tomorrow I will start with number 13. With my heart flying and happiness stamped on my face. Aware of having given everything. Because I should have been there, but then, with that fall, everything seemed to have gone up in smoke … instead: I AM! , you have to BELIEVE! “
