Sofia Goggia: “It’s not even the death knell anymore”

Goggia is a true Bergamasque. In recent weeks, her hometown has become the Italian epicenter of the corona pandemic. The images in which the coffins of the Corona dead had to be taken out of the city by the military due to a lack of space went around the world. It is also a very difficult time for Goggia that she is currently going through. “The death knell hasn't even been ringing for a few days now,” is how she describes the dramatic situation to the Journal of Sport . “When everything broke out here, I was still by the sea. When I returned, I immediately went into quarantine. The cold, the fear on the streets is palpable. The silence is only broken by the ambulance sirens.” Goggia herself is doing well, as is her family. “Thank God I have never received a phone call saying that a relative has died. “My parents, on the other hand, have already lost a few friends,” explains the Olympic downhill champion. Vonn & Co. are worried In these difficult times, the ski family also helps each other. “Lindsey Vonn is very worried, she texted me how I was doing. I also received a message from the Austrian Tamara Tippler. I am also in contact with the Fanchini sisters, who also live in a very affected area (province of Brescia, editor's note), said Goggia. The Bergamaskin, which this year due to one Broken arm from the beginning of February has no longer competed in races, spends the day within his own four walls. “I clean the house every day, read and write. I also talk a lot with my neighbors – always keeping my distance, of course. I also talk to a lot of people who are important to me.” In the hope that this difficult time will soon come to an end.
