Sofia Goggia: “Leading by example is important”
«When they proposed # ioleggoperché, I immediately answered yes» enthuses Sofia Goggia. «In the sporting environment there is a lack of culture. In the sense that we athletes are always so busy that we sometimes don’t have time to follow a linear school path. I graduated from forensics and am now enrolled in Political Science at Luiss which has provided an important training course ».
«I am determined to achieve my degree, it is an achievement that I care a lot about. So I didn’t hesitate when they asked me to be an ambassador for the initiative. New synergies between culture, sport and education are always welcome. In my small way I like the idea of sending a constructive signal ».

Sofia Goggia was also chosen for her great passion for reading.
«I like to read, I would like to read more, but I don’t have much time available. In addition to training, I have a whole other series of commitments to manage, including university where I have already taken five exams. Let’s say that in a year I can read at least a dozen books. I am passionate about everything, from short stories to novels. From thrillers to classics of English literature, from Jane Austen to Virginia Woolf. I also love Emily Dickinson very much.

“Philip Roth’s American Pastoral has troubled me”
“I’ve been reading lately The lost bread by Alice Bruck, a historical novel about the persecution of Jews told from the point of view of a surviving child. I concentrated also on the life of Artemisia Gentileschi. Among the books that have upset me, leaving me a whirlwind inside, there is certainly American pastoral by Philip Roth. There is such an introspection in mankind that it gave me shivers »continues Sofia Goggia.
“A memoir? Not for now! “
But will Sofia Goggia ever write a book about her incredible career? «They proposed it to me, but I always answered ‘no’. I do not care. I don’t believe in books that tell an athlete’s story. Besides, I am in full career and I do not find it adequate. No memoir. At least for now. Then who knows, maybe at the end of my career I might think about it. But now I have other goals ».
His dream now is the overall World Cup.
