At last weekend's FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup, Italy's top-ranked Italian star Sofia Goggia suffered a serious accident. Medical examinations after the game revealed a ligament injury to her right knee, a minor fracture of her fibula, and multiple tendon injuries.
Earlier, the Italian Olympic Committee identified Gogia as the standard-bearer of the Italian delegation at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. However, on January 25, the president of the Italian Olympic Committee, Giovanni Marago, met with Gogia and learned about her rehabilitation plan. After the meeting, the Italian Olympic Committee announced the replacement of the opening flag bearer with snowboard slude chase star Michela Moioli.
Today, Tencent Sports contacted Cesare Satore, a rehabilitationist at Gogia. Satoret said Gogia's rehabilitation team is actively helping her, and the defending winter Olympic alpine skiing women's rappelling champion is still looking forward to making a comeback before the Beijing Winter Olympics, "Gogia is challenging a seemingly impossible task, she is like a beast when she executes her rehabilitation training plan." ”
According to Satore, Gogia tore a front cruciate ligament, and rehabilitation is more difficult, and even if he can come to the competition, he is likely to only play in the downhill event on February 15.
