The night of Sofia Goggia is approaching, who will attempt the miracle in the Olympic downhill after the injury to the knee ligaments, and it is already a miracle to be there one month after the injury.

The last downhill test closed it with the fourth fastest time not far from the leaders. His physiotherapist said he is 80%, who knows if that might not be enough for a podium or even a gold medal.

"I did a good test but I missed some lines - the reigning Olympic champion told Rai Sport -. The skiing is there, I felt my legs well, focus on tomorrow. I am very concentrated. I did not think about nothing, my energies were only aimed at recovering physically. It was a very difficult period with so many things to do in a very short time. The test I had to overcome is greater than the difficulties of the race ".

Improvements compared to the first test, in which the champion has more than anything else tested the knee and studied the track.

The technical staff has made official the quartet that will take part in the race: in addition to Goggia there are Nadia Delago, Nicol Delago and Elena Curtoni.

The race starts at 4 and Goggia starts with bib number 13. And on the eve the champion wrote a long post to describe her state of mind.

"Tomorrow I will leave with number 13. With my heart flying and happiness stamped on my face. Aware of having given everything. Because I should have been there regardless, but then, with that fall, everything seemed to go up in smoke. . THERE ARE !! This is the greatest proof that life has ever brought me, the Olympics are the place where every athlete would like to be. That dream of mine in my heart since I was a child! ".
