Italian skiing star Sofia Goggia must
"take all the time she needs" to recover after breaking her leg
and ankle in a training accident, Lombardy Governor Attilio
Fontana said on social media Monday.
"A year flies by and we look with hope and confidence at the
incredible strength of our skier from Bergamo, in view of the
2025 World Championships and the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics,"
he said, thinking back to the "countless sporting miracles she
has accustomed us to over the years".
Bergamo Mayor Giorgio Gori also wished the skier a speedy
recovery.
"What bad luck Sofia," wrote the first citizen on X.
"A hug from all the people of Bergamo, get well and come back
soon," he added.
Goggia, 31, suffered a fractured tibia and malleolus in a
training fall at Pontedilegno.
The 2018 downhill Olympic Champion and four-time World
Cup-winner is currently top of this season's women's downhill
World Cup rankings with 350 points after five races out of nine,
89 more than second-placed Stephanie Venier of Austria.
