Overview
- The Italian ski champion fell ill during the Ushuaia training camp and was flown back to Italy after a malore on 12 September for specialist evaluation.
- Clinical examinations at Casa di Cura La Madonnina and IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele in Milan, reported on Friday, identified two distinct viral infections that together produced marked physical debilitation.
- The FISI Medical Commission led by Dr. Andrea Panzeri coordinated the decision to repatriate Goggia and is overseeing her medically supervised recovery program.
- National team technical director Gianluca Rulfi publicly raised hantavirus as a possible cause in earlier statements, but the latest medical reports emphasize the dual viral diagnoses and do not confirm hantavirus as the definitive cause.
- Goggia has begun a recovery protocol in Italy and is temporarily withdrawn from training, leaving her preparation and selection for the World Cup opener on 24 October in Sölden undecided.
