(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 8 - Italian ski star Sofia Goggia is set to return to action at Beaver Creek next weekend after breaking her leg at the end of January.
    The Italian alpine skier, who became the first Italian to win a downhill Olympic gold on her Olympic debut, said she was "fighting fit" after sustaining fractures to her right tibia and tibial malleolus last January 31.
    "It's been a tough time, with surgeries, lots of physiotherapy and a lot of work to get myself back on track.
    "But I've improved day by day and the time to get back into the race is getting closer and closer" said the athlete from Bergamo, who has been in the US since November 11th.
    The 32-year-old is a four-time World Cup downhill title winner (2018, 2021—2023). (ANSA).
