Sofia Goggia Returns to Italy After Persistent Fatigue at Ushuaia Camp

Initial tests in Bergamo are complete with further examinations planned in Milan to determine whether she can race in the World Cup opener in Sölden on October 24.

Overview

  • Goggia, who returned to Italy on Friday, cut short her preseason camp in Ushuaia because of pronounced fatigue and weakness and has not reported any trauma or fracture.
  • The decision to repatriate was made with the Federazione Italiana Sport Invernali’s medical commission led by Dr. Andrea Panzeri to prioritise thorough diagnostic checks.
  • She completed first-round medical exams in Bergamo and is awaiting results while additional tests are expected in Milan to identify the cause of her symptoms.
  • Team staff have raised a viral infection as a working hypothesis and the technical director mentioned hantavirus as an unconfirmed possibility, but no diagnosis has been made.
  • Goggia’s competition plan is on hold and her participation in the October 24 Sölden giant slalom will be decided only after the medical investigations conclude, with implications for her early-season preparation and World Championship build-up.
