There ski champion Sofia Goggia she returned to the race on Saturday and in the free descent of Cortina d’Ampezzo he conquered his fourth victory of the season (although he was unable to participate in the Super-G on Sunday due to soreness in his right knee). How did the tireless skier from Bergamo, 30, celebrate her victory? Just enough time to take off the skis and Sofia Goggia ran to the side of the track, where waiting for her, faithful and excited, was her stupendous big dog Belle.
Sofia and Belle exchanged a sweet cuddle, showing everyone how strong friendship between humans and animals can be. Tawny muzzle and lively eyes, Belle is a female Australian Shepherd, who has lived in symbiosis with Sofia Goggia since 2014, who takes her with her to training, on the ski slopes, in the woods. Even on the podium!
Sofia Goggia has always loved dogs: she had a setter for 17 years, now they are inseparable with Belle. The dog comes from a breeding farm and the curiosity is that another Italian champion: Ilaria Ghisalberti, after meeting Belle, adopted her sister, Ari.
