Sofia Goggia (Italian pronunciation: [soˈfiːa ˈɡɔddʒa]; born 15 November 1992) is an Italian World Cup alpine ski racer. She made her World Cup debut in December 2011[1] and primarily competed on the European Cup circuit until the 2016 World Cup season. Goggia won the gold medal in the downhill at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Biography

With only four career starts in giant slalom (and no finishes) in her World Cup career, Goggia was named to the Italian women's team for the 2013 World Championships in Schladming, Austria. She capitalized on the opportunity and posted two top ten finishes: fourth in the super-G[2] and seventh in the super combined. Goggia attained her first World Cup podium in November 2016, a third place in giant slalom at Killington. She won the bronze medal in the same event at the World Championships in February.

Goggia's first World Cup win came in downhill in March 2017 at Jeongseon, South Korea.[3] She followed it up with a super-G win the following day for her eleventh World Cup podium of the season. It was the fourth time that she gained multiple podiums at the same race venue, and added a fifth with two podiums at the World Cup finals in Aspen.

In 2018, she won consecutive World Cup downhills in mid-January at Bad Kleinkirchheim and Cortina d'Ampezzo.[4] She was the gold medalist in the downhill at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea,[5] and won the World Cup season title in downhill, edging out Lindsey Vonn by three points.
