Happy birthday to Sofia Goggia: the champion is celebrating her 34th birthday

Sofia Goggia turns 34: the champion, born in Bergamo on November 15, 1992, is without a doubt one of the most successful Italian female athletes in history. One need only glance at her list of achievements to understand the greatness of this skiing superstar.

Sofia Goggia became an Olympic champion in the downhill at Pyeongchang 2018 and won the silver medal in the same discipline at Beijing 2022 and the bronze at Milan-Cortina 2026. She is also the only athlete in history (including both men and women) to have won three Olympic medals in downhill.

Winner of four World Cup titles in downhill, one in super-G, and two World Championship medals, the champion began skiing at the age of 3 on the slopes of Foppolo, near Bergamo, and it was immediately clear that she was destined for a brilliant future.

With 29 victories, Goggia is the second-most successful Italian female skier in World Cup history, behind Federica Brignone. After winning the bronze medal in the downhill at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics, she became the first female skier to win a medal in three consecutive editions in the same discipline, following her gold medal at Pyeongchang 2018 and silver at Beijing 2022.
