Sofia Goggia was the big star of Fisi’s Media Day.

The'former Olympic champion spoke ahead of Milan-Cortina.

"The World Cup I’ve been competing steadily since 2015-2016, so exactly ten seasons".
"o I’m fine, I worked well this summer, however I had a very good season last year, solid and also with the little preparation that managed to do because of the foot.”
"In the spring I exploited so much the winter conditions present in our mountains, the summer still started from a good physical base and the preparation on skis even in the South American block went well.”
"In my opinion we should not think about the seasons with the rainbow events, with a different conception than the others".
"You have to, in my opinion, get off to a good start, test yourself in the World Cup, be able to figure out what level you are at, calibrate your shot where there are things to fine-tune".
"But the secret that Federica taught us last year is to ski every weekend strong; so, my goal is to be 100 percent on snow every day".
"I’m focused on what I have to do, without big expectations, but step by step.”
Federica Brignone meanwhile is continuing her rehabilitation.
The dream is to succeed for the Olympics.
It will be hard but dreaming costs nothing.

The champion from Bergamo came in behind New Zealand’s Alice Robinson, who won the race ahead of France’s Romane Miradoli, second at nine hundredths.

Fourth place for the jaw-dropping Lindsey Vonn, who finished 27 hundredths off the podium, while Emma Aicher, who went off-track at the start of the race after winning Saturday, fell. Out also went out the outfielder Mikaela Shiffrin.

Sofia said after the race: “A few smudges from not being used to speed, but it was a solid race. I had a good race, but coming down I felt I still had a margin. I could have pushed harder, I made a mistake on the’last jump because I was afraid of landing too far to the left”, said the Azzurra to Rai microphones.
