“I do not need to foment this controversy which has been very unpleasant and I also think it is offensive not so much towards me as towards qualified people, such as the doctors of the federation, who act for the good of the athletes and certainly do not go to support the false”. The silver medal in Beijing in the free Sofia Goggia, guest this morning in Non Stop News at Rtl, is back to talk about the controversy over the mother of Federica Brignone Ninna Quario. “It is the first time that I speak clearly about it, it was the topic that you asked me about as soon as you landed in Malpensa and I clearly glossed over it, you don’t deserve extra words”.
«The question – adds the blue – was unpleasant, but in the end I try to gloss over. I, the doctors, even the coaches themselves knew very well what the situation was. The other day after I landed I went to Milan to check my orthopedic doctor since I was fourteen and he told me that when he picked up my knee after Cortina he felt like fainting, because he was in very bad condition “. “I think the self-centered person puts his own problems at the center of attention – it is Goggia thought -, high-level sport implies a sort of selfishness, because the athlete has to think about himself and each of us is to be able to achieve a personal path that will lead to desired goals. If there is a person who always makes me controversy it is always her, who knows why “.
So the Italian ski star takes stock of the Beijing Olympics: «Clearly at the medal level it was a very rich edition. Compared to the previous ones there was one less gold but there were many more medals, many more silvers and bronzes, all in all it was a very positive trip for Italy, also in view of Milan-Cortina 2026, I feel already loaded just now thinking about it ». The future objective is clear: «I want to plan these four years as best I can to be able to be ready for that event even if it is still a long way off. Beijing 2022 was a bit of a strange Olympics with all the restrictions of the pandemic, I think above all it was difficult to get there after a winter where we shot a lot. From an Olympics perspective, I think it was the most stressful part ».
