Sofia Goggia, change of plans in Soldeu

Soldeu, program

The Soldeu Finals program begins a couple of hours late, needed to fix the track.

This morning, around 7 a.m., organizers gave a stop to the athletes’ ascent, to take the time needed to put the track in the best possible condition.

So the green light with two hours delay, compared to the original schedule. The first round of the men’s downhill will therefore start at 12 noon, while at 1 p.m. it will be the women’s turn.

Sofia Goggia, class of 1992, was born in Bergamo and has a personal bulletin board that can make anyone envious. In fact, she was a gold medalist in the downhill in the 2018 edition of the Olympics staged in Pyeongchang, South Korea, but she can also boast three downhill World Cups and two medals won at the World Championships: a bronze in the giant slalom in Sankt Moritz in 2017 and a silver, in the super-giant, in Are, Sweden, two years later. Her best finish in the overall World Cup standings is the third place she recorded in 2017.
