Sofia Goggia explains her mistake
The words of Sofia Goggia
It was a second downhill run definitely to forget that of Sofia Goggia in Kvitfjell. On the Norwegian slope, in fact, the skier from Bergamo missed a gate in the last sector, ending the race in 43rd position with a delay of more than two and a half seconds from the American Breezy Johnson. Speaking to the official channels of the "FISI", the Bergamo native tried to pinpoint the reasons that led to the mistake.
"For the first time we found here in Kvitfjell spring conditions, a bit abnormal for this resort. Today è was a test soì soì: I started in a fog bank and in the upper part I had little visibility; then è came the mistake in the final part, dictated perhaps by the little adaptation to this snow with coarse grain. Today we will watch the videos for all the small corrections of the case" began the skier from Bergamo.
"The slope has smooth sections, but also turns where you have to pull. It's definitely a more technical slope than at the World Championships. The fourth place in Sestriere è is now in the archive, now I have to focus on this race weekend" added Sofia Goggia.
The program in Kvitfjell includes two downhill runs, Friday and Saturday, starting at 10:30 a.m., while on Sunday, also at 10:30 a.m., the super-G kicks off. This is a triptych of capital importance in view of the World Cup and specialty cupsà.
“The track has smooth sections but also turns to pull, definitely more technical than the World Cup track. The fourth place in Sestriere è now in the archive, I focus on’today”.
