St. Moritz, it’s time for Sofia Goggia

Sofia Goggia summoned

Twelve are summoned for the three-day World Cup on the St. Moritz slope, dedicated to speed after the cancellations of the two downhill races in Zermatt/Cervinia in mid-November. The schedule includes Friday, Dec. 8, a super-giant, followed Saturday, Dec. 9, by a downhill and Sunday, Dec. 10, by another super-giant, preceded on Wednesday, Dec. 6 and Thursday, Dec. 7, by two days of official training. In addition to Eurosport, Rai Due will also broadcast all the Swiss races, confirming the great success the women’s team is having.

Technical director Gianluca Rulfi has summoned Federica Brignone, Marta Bassino, Karoline Pichler, Roberta Melesi, Sofia Goggia, Elena Curtoni, Nicol Delago, Nadia Delago to Laura Pirovano. They are joined by Elena Dolmen, Teresa Runggaldier and Monica Zanoner who three will take part in the downhill events and will only make selection for Saturday’s race. As a reminder, the Italian team canò field up to nine athletes in both super-giant and downhill.
