Ever since she conquered her second Olympic medal in Beijing in 2022. #onlythebrave is Sofia Goggia’s favorite hashtag. The Italian star pushes boundaries and challenges established rules. After crashing hard last January and recovering from her injuries in record time, she keeps showing that no matter what happens to her, she is part of an elite group of skiers who are hard to beat.

After the cancellation of the events in Zermatt-Cervinia, Goggia had planned to start her World Cup campaign at the Killington GS but then decided to focus on preparing for the opening speed events of the season in Lake Louise. When the women last raced in Lake Louise, she claimed three wins. In November, ‘Sofi’ Goggia trained for an extended period at Copper Mountain with the Swiss and the Austrians “to accumulate more miles on the skis and to compare herself with some of her best competitors.”
