In the much-anticipated SuperG race at Cortina, Italian skier Sofia Goggia started competitively, closely trailing Federica Brignone, who was leading the rankings at the time. Despite a promising beginning that saw Goggia clocking in a time that was momentarily only 4 hundredths of a second behind her rival, she unfortunately faltered later in the race. Goggia exited the course after misjudging a couple of turns, leading to her withdrawal from the competition and ending her hopes for another medal after her recent bronze win in downhill skiing.

The race was filled with excitement, especially as it featured two of Italy’s strongest competitors in alpine skiing. Goggia’s initial performances in the SuperG indicated that she was in fine form, and the crowd held high hopes for her taking home another medal. However, the unexpected turn of events with Goggia going off course brought disappointment not only to the athlete but also to the fans and supporters who believed in her exceptional skills.

Goggia's withdrawal from the event raises questions about her future performances and overall standing in the alpine skiing scene, considering she has been a formidable competitor. As the season progresses, the focus will likely shift to how she recovers from this setback and prepares for upcoming competitions, while Brignone's performance will be highlighted, showcasing her strength in the field.
