Sofia Goggia spoke after her hand surgery

The hand surgery for Sofia Goggia, who underwent surgery at the La Madonnina Clinic in Milan for the reduction of decomposed fractures in the second and third metacarpals of her left hand, was perfectly successful.

The operation involved the insertion of plates and screws in the injured hand.The vice Olympic champion will decide Saturday morning in St.Moritz whether or not she will participate in the second downhill scheduled at 10:30 a.m.

These are the words released to Fisi: “I am sorry for this setback that was not wanted. The practice days had gone very well and I was ready to aim for the victory, unfortunately the contact with an ice block before the third gate caused me a lot of pain, I knew immediately that it was something broken. Anyway we look ahead, on Saturday I will decide whether to race only a few minutes before the start. I am very happy for Elena Curtoni, I give her my biggest congratulations for the victory.”
