Beaver Creek, Colorado - Italian ski racer Sofia Goggia made a stunning comeback this weekend, claiming victory in the Super G at Beaver Creek just ten months after a serious leg injury sidelined her.
Goggia, 32, showcased her dominance in the speed events, finishing second in Saturday’s downhill and then securing a commanding win in Sunday’s super G.
“This is one of the best Super gs I’ve ever skied,” Goggia said after her victory. She had been confident from the moment she saw the course, believing she could take the top spot.
The win marks a remarkable return for Goggia, who suffered a fractured tibia and ankle during training in February. The long and arduous rehabilitation process included the removal of seven screws from her leg just this past September.
Goggia’s return to form was evident from the start. On Saturday,she narrowly missed the downhill victory,finishing just 16 hundredths of a second behind Austria’s Cornelia Hütter.
But Sunday’s Super G was a different story. Goggia,skiing with aggression and precision,overtook Switzerland’s Lara Gut-Behrami,who had set a blistering pace. Goggia crossed the finish line nearly half a second ahead, celebrating with a joyful dance.
Goggia’s resilience is remarkable. This isn’t her first comeback from a major injury. Throughout her career, she has faced numerous setbacks, but always returned stronger.
“I felt good,” Goggia said, dismissing any lingering fear from her injury. “I wasn’t thinking about it.”
Goggia’s victory solidifies her position as one of the world’s top skiers, especially in the speed disciplines. She is a four-time downhill World cup champion and the 2018 Olympic gold medalist in the event.
