Reigning Olympic downhill champion
Sofia Goggia said Tuesday that she doesn't know if she will be
fit enough to defend her title at the Beijing 2022 Games after
suffering a knee injury racing at Cortina d'Ampezzo late last
month.
The 29-year-old did intense physiotherapy after damaging
anterior cruciate ligaments in her knee and fracturing her
fibula.
"It's been a tough few weeks," Goggia told Rai Sport on the
slopes of Yanqing.
"It's a big success just to be here, but I can't guarantee
anything.
"My condition is what it is.
"I still have a little time but I can't guarantee anything, not
even that I will participate in the downhill
"I will give it my all.
"I thank the Italian people for the affection shown to me.
"I'm sorry about not being able to be the usual competitive
Goggia. We'll assess things day by day".
Goggia had been been in stunning form before the injury, winning
four out of five World Cup downhills this season.
