Sofia Goggia’s hour strikes

Sofia Goggia set to make her World Cup debut in Lake Louise, Canada

Sofia Goggia ready to make her debut in the Women’s Alpine Skiing World Cup: the Bergamo-born skier will take to the slopes in Lake Louise, Canada, for the first two downhill events of the season, as well as a SuperG.

The races will be held from Friday to Sunday: in addition to Goggia, Federica Brignone, who has already made her debut in the Killington Giant, Marta Bassino, second also in Killington, Elena Curtoni, Karoline Pichler, Roberta Melesi, Laura Pirovano, Nicole Delago, and Nadia Delago have also been summoned for the Canadian triple commitment.

Sofia Goggia, class of 1992, was born in Bergamo and has a personal bulletin board that can make anyone envious. In fact, she was a gold medalist in the downhill in the 2018 edition of the Olympics staged in Pyeongchang, South Korea, but she can also boast three downhill World Cups and two medals won at the World Championships: a bronze in the giant slalom in Sankt Moritz in 2017 and a silver, in the super-giant, in Are, Sweden, two years later. Her best finish in the overall World Cup standings is the third place she recorded in 2017.
