Sofia Goggia Diagnosed With Two Viral Infections as Recovery Program Begins

The medical findings complicate her preparation and leave her availability for the World Cup opener uncertain.

Overview

  • Goggia left the Ushuaia training camp after a malore and returned to Italy on 12 September for clinical tests that found two distinct viral infections whose combined effects caused marked debilitation.
  • Specialist examinations were carried out at Casa di Cura La Madonnina and IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele in Milan under the oversight of FISI’s Medical Commission.
  • FISI says Goggia has already started a recovery program developed with the Medical Commission led by Dr. Andrea Panzeri.
  • Goggia posted that she is improving but remains considerably debilitated and that recovery will require time and patience; no firm date has been set for a return to training or competition.
  • The setback compresses preparation for the 2026/27 World Cup season and creates short-term uncertainty for team planning and athlete selection ahead of the 24 October season opener in Sölden.
