Goggia: “This was the goal, but I wasn’t perfect”

Sofia after the success in super-G: “I didn’t have the best sensations, but I did the key points well. Twenty-three successes like Fede? It’s a competition that’s good for skiing”

Surprised and ready for new challenges. After Sofia Goggia’s 23rd career World Cup success: “I feel a little surprised – she declared at the finish line to RAI -, I went down with 7 and in the super-G in St. Moritz it’s never easy, you have no references. When I saw the advantage of 95/100 I said to myself: well, I have to wait for all the others. On the track I had some not very good sensations, I had to reinvent myself a bit, the art of improvisation let’s say. I was always very long, off line, but I think I took the ramps very well in the three crucial points of the track and made the difference there.”

the progress

Dome showed the three top 10 in the first three giants of the season, the work in the summer was useful. “I’m more of a skier for fast disciplines, but I can’t live only on those – explained Sofia -. I don’t think I put it on the slopes that much today, because in some passages I was a little inclined, I wasn’t clean. But the This was the goal.” And in the first speed test of the season, after the double cancellation in Cervinia, he has already set the tone: “It was time to start with speed – recognizes Goggia -, the tests here in St. Moritz went quite well. But competition is fierce, I will have to do analysis with the technicians and give my best tomorrow and the day after.” There are still a downhill and a super-G on the program.

the rivalry

With success number 23, Federica Brignone joins the top of the ranking of Italian multiple winners in the World Cup. “We are different: she is more technical, I am more of a sprinter. This competition is welcome, because this keeps interest in skiing alive and in Italy we need it.”
