Wind mocks Sofia Goggia in Cortina

The wind mocks Sofia Goggia in Cortina

.

Bitter downhill for Sofia Goggia in Cortina. The skier from Bergamo, in fact, in the lead until the long break for wind, è was mocked by 44 hundredths by the Norwegian Ragnhild Mowinckel, who won the race ahead of the American Jacqueline Wiles. The Italian thus confirmed her third place for the second time in 24 hours on the Tofane Olympia.

“It’ was not a very clean downhill, però with Bergamo character and grit – said Goggia to the microphones of RaiSport -. I found wind and the lines were not perfect. When I saw that I had No. 14 I remembered what è happened in the memorial ceremony dedicated to Elena (Fanchini, ed.) and that race she won in 2015. I had told my coach this and these are things that are not soì negligible".

“We are all aware that skiing is an outdoor sport. The first ones and I were disadvantaged by the gusts of wind and when there are all these interruptions è clearly it goes to create a different race. I am very sorry for the result, but I am satisfied as said by my attitude. However, I am happy for Mowinckel, who è a very nice girl and loves skiing in Cortina, but clearly I would have liked to win. Let’s say I am in credit and look at the glass half full" concluded the skier from Bergamo.
