Sofia Goggia, admission after downhill cup triumph

Sofia Goggia admits, “Pretty lucky, a little less loose.”

A few hours after her second-place finish in Kvitfjell, which gave her the joy of her fourth career Downhill Cup (after those of 2018, 2021, and 2022), Sofia Goggia conceded a few lines to RTL 102.5, admitting that she did not express herself as she would have liked, despite yet another podium in the specialty.

“I am not so satisfied with today’s race,” she said, “which was affected by the weather, especially the wind that came and went. Although I don’t take excuses I have to say that I caught some crazy gusts of wind. I was quite lucky, although I couldn’t be as soft as I was in practice. I was a little less loose. The next goal Super-G race tomorrow, where I was not able to express myself at the highest level.”

On the season, however, fewer doubts: “I am very happy with this fourth specialty cup. A lot of stuff – said Goggia -. Out of eight races held in downhill this season I won five, in one I fell the worst result was twice second. I win it with a lot of points to spare.”
