la Repubblica, 18 October, Cosimo Cito: Sofia Goggia has put her skis back on, on the Stelvio glacier. More than a month off. Two viral infections. The Patagonia camp, cut short. “Viva la vita così com’è.” The line is hers, on Instagram, over a song by Ornella Vanoni and Francesco Gabbani. It is not a World Cup start. It is a resumption.

On Instagram, still her: she put the skis on, she felt the happiness. An emotion, to do again what she loves. Thanks to those who helped. She is still on some medicine. The road, she says, is the right one. Nearly 10,000 comments, in a few hours, Repubblica says. She defends last year’s super-G crystal. That is her aim, not an October ranking.

Sölden, 24 October, the season’s first giant: no. Killington, 28 November: the return target, giant again. Between them, Copper Mountain, speed. Sky Sport, 14 October, the same calendar. Neveitalia: Bassino and Pirovano, on the glacier, preparing Sölden. Goggia, called up from the start of the week, wide gates, the first real session. Then more than two weeks at the Speed Center. Beaver Creek, 11–13 December, Birds of Prey, her disciplines. A plan, not a start list.

OA Sport names the viruses, after tests in Milan: Chikungunya and Parvovirus B19. Ushuaia, September: fatigue, bone pain, tremors, then home. That is their account. Repubblica stays with “two infections”. It is not a diagnosis we issue. It is a summer stop, new for her, Neveitalia says.

The photograph, Stelvio, May 2025, the Bormio side. It is not this week’s gates. Until Killington, what remains is medicine and a song line. Whether she makes 28 November shows then. It is not a start.
