Sofia Goggia Returns to Italy After Abrupt Ushuaia Training Exit

FISI says pronounced exhaustion sent the Olympic champion home and Milan doctors will run tests to identify the cause.

Overview

  • The Italian Ski Federation confirmed Monday that Goggia left the Ushuaia training camp because of strong tiredness and exhaustion and has returned to Italy for further medical checks.
  • FISI’s medical commission, chaired by Dr. Andrea Panzeri, advised the repatriation after a short multi-day pause in Argentina failed to improve her condition.
  • Local medical checks in Ushuaia were limited by long waiting times, so in-depth examinations are now planned in Milan to find a clear diagnosis.
  • Media reports and team statements say a viral infection is being considered as one possible cause but no diagnosis has yet been confirmed.
  • The withdrawal cancels her planned follow-up camp in Chile and leaves her participation in the World Cup opener in Sölden on 24 October uncertain, with medical results and recovery now determining her season start.
