Sofia Goggia crosses the finish line and celebrates dancing the samba with her boots on. Her joy is pure for her new superlative feat. The indomitable girl from Bergamo has in fact won the World Cup superG in Beaver Creek, Colorado, in a big way, in 1.03.90 after having been an excellent second in yesterday's downhill.

These are feats bordering on the incredible, miraculous given that they came ten months after the dramatic accident on February 5, with a fractured tibia and malleolus, which could have cost her her career given that she was unable to ski for eight months.

For Sofia, at 32 years old, this is the 25th victory and the seventh in superG. After Tomba and Brignone, she is now alone the third most successful Italian skier ever, surpassing the legendary Gustav Thoeni who has won 24.
