Sofia Goggia: first the scare, then the qualification

Surreal episode what happened during the giant slalom in Soelden: a track attendant è remained on the track while descending Sofia Goggia, who è was then forced to stop and climb back up at the start to resume the start.

The champion from Bergamo recorded a good 20th time at 2''80 from Brignone, which allowed the Bergamo native to qualify for the second leg that she had been missing for two years. "I return to the giant and è right away cinema" then joked Sofia Goggia.

In recent days the strong skier spoke to official FISI channels: "I remain an advocate that working well in giant slalom gives me the technical stability to transmit in the fast disciplines, which then remain my main goal. Last year in giant slalom I practically competed only in Sestriere, then hiccups during the season forced me to make choices about which races to take part".
