Sofia Goggia: the gesture and message to Federica Brignone after the triumph

Sofia Goggia mortgages the specialty cup in Crans Montana

Sofia Goggia triumphs on the slopes of Crans Montana and mortgages the downhill specialty cup. The skier from Bergamo, who was 15 hundredths ahead of Federica Brignone, who was second, expressed all her satisfaction to RAI microphones: “It was two difficult days because to have only one run and to go out on the fifth gate is not easy….”

“Then there were some particular and changing conditions, the first 15 started in the dark,” continued Sofia, who then sent a message to Brignone. “If there was someone who could really undermine me, it was Federica. And it showed.”

The two rivals talked quietly after the finish, with Sofia putting her arm on the Valdostana’s shoulders, happy with the podium she had just won.
