Sofia Goggia: “I’ve run out of tears, but I’m already looking up to new goals”

The battle cry is always the same, in victory and in pain: #onlythebrave, only the brave. And he has courage to sell Sofia Goggia, victim of yet another injury, but ready to get up again. The blue skier, forced to miss the world championship after the accident at Garmish, told what she is feeling on her Instagram account.

“After thirty hours I ran out of tears but the terrible pain, mixed with the enormous sorrow, remains very strong inside me, together with a heart that continues to struggle, screaming and silently screaming. It is the screams and that feeling of helplessness on the track when I realized that the season was over, the nostalgia for the things that go away as I went down the snowmobile, it is the look of my skiman that I could not support thinking about the broken dream but and also the love of my companions when they surrounded me in a sincere group embrace in the hotel reception before I returned to Italy: I take everything and take it with me ».

The season is over for her, but there is still a long career ahead. It will take 45 days of stop for the knee injury and then the skier from Bergamo also anticipated the surgery to remove the plate applied a year ago after the rupture of the left radius. Even then she had fallen to Garmish in that case in the super-G.

Today he will leave the «La Madonnina» clinic in Milan. He will spend his convalescence in Bergamo with his parents. “Things go as they should go by destiny, coincidences and choices,” he wrote, “vI would rather think that nothing, nothing ever happens by chance and that everything contributes to the fulfillment of the plan of each of us: it has always been so, and it will still be ».

Yes, the World Cup is no more, but we are looking forward. «It is only by looking in there, looking up, focusing on things beyond our view that we can live, and however far I am physically from what can frame that objective, I try to focus and chase it. To start again. To continue undaunted on the path. To move forward. Why must it be done. Usque ad finem. It takes courage, and now it is necessary to put him on the field ».

The end? A postscript that mentions the Chinese wall as a symbol of Winter Olympics that Beijing hosts in 2022. It is a path that will be supported by the affection of her friends and teammates. “Seeing Sofi like this hurt us, but she’ll get over this too,” he said Marta Bassino.

Wholeheartedly the message of Michela Moioli, Olympic snowboard champion. «My friend, Also this year the bad luck has wanted to put its hand in your season. It didn’t take. I saw you sitting in the hospital bed waiting for a report that you already knew in your heart. But do you also know where I saw you? On the roof of the world, on the top step of the podium, smiling, with all your greatness and strength …And you know where I’ll see you, right? Always there, on that podium, in your place, which you deserve more than all. For the great woman you are, for your beautiful and true soul, for the heart you put into everything you do, for the giant dreams you have… You are destined for great things Sofi. You’ll make it this time too, because you always make it! I love you sister!”.
