Sofia Goggia in pieces over Lindsey Vonn dry answer to Alberto Tomba

Not a great day for Sofia Goggia, who fell in the team combined downhill. But, as always, the champion from Bergamo is anything but trivial when making statements. “When I slipped the first thought was for Lara Dalla Mea – she stresses -I am so sorry, because she could have tried the slalom slope“. And then she adds with a bitter smile: “She will be waiting for me in the hotel with a stick”.

Sunday’s downhill bronze medalist also doesn’t shy away from responding to Alberto Tomba, who would have preferred to see Thoeni light the tripod in Cortina and not her. “Me last torchbearer? It was not my decision”. And the Bolognese is also served.

Naturally Sofia also talks about Lindsey Vonn, whose Olympics ended in the worst way: “I read this morning the message she posted on social media. It breaks my heart to think that she is in a hospital with a broken tibia at age 41 when she had gone through all this effort to race in the Olympics, going out on the third gate, falling like that, after dominating all season. Mi ma fale, my heart hurts”.

What happened to the American touched everyone and unfortunately also unleashed haters, to which Arnold Schwarzenegger also responded: “What these people do not understand, because they have never tried to do something great, because they have never pushed themselves to the extreme limits, because they will never know their true potential, is that there is no such thing as risk-free greatness” stressed the naturalized U.S.-born Austrian.

“It was more human error than bad luck. Was it a gamble to compete in his condition? Even I, in his place, would have tried. Characteristically, we are similar, and I think I too would have shown up at the start” instead, Giorgio Rocca, asked by Corriere del Ticino, said on the subject.
