Sofia Goggia, doctor: "No collapse, she never gives up"

Dr. Andrea Panzeri, the doctor who operated on Sofia Goggia, spoke about the operation to Sky microphones: "The surgery è went well. Today Sofia called me directly from the slopes, we immediately did CT and X-ray that showed a tibial pilon fracture with malleolus involvement as well. We went to the operating room, the surgery è went well, we applied a plate with seven screws". 

"Now Sofia will have to go through yet another journey to recover, but è she will be strong and will be able to do it great. Of course, the season è over, we will see her again on the track at’the beginning of the next". 

Recovery time: "In these 40 days she will not be able to put her foot on the ground, but she will start slow physiotherapy. It takes patience and strength. It's difficult to estimate the recovery, in a few months he will be able to put the skis back on his feet".

L'Azzurra suffered the blow but did not è give up: "To the fans we say she will be back; in the head è she arrived more aware that she was hurt. She did not have a psychological breakdown like she had before the Olympics. I saw her angry but calm, she never gave up a second".
