Jan 16, 2026·Alpine Skiing
In the latest episode of Alpine Pulse, Sofia Goggia (ITA / Atomic) opens up about the extraordinary journey that shaped her into one of alpine skiing’s most fearless champions. From chasing her older brother down the slopes near Bergamo to standing atop Olympic podiums, Sofia shares how her childhood dreams evolved into a career defined by speed, grit, and unshakable passion.
Joined by commentator Nick Fellows, she reveals what it truly feels like to push limits at 110 km/h, how the mountains forged her hunger for speed, and why resilience became her greatest ally. Sofia also offers rare insight into the people who keep her grounded — especially her father, whose quiet strength and unwavering support remain central to her life, even from outside the skiing world.
Throughout the conversation, Sofia reflects on how injuries have shaped her mindset from the earliest days of her World Cup career, long before she became a global icon. These setbacks didn’t break her spirit — they forged it.
Through candid stories of adversity, authenticity, and a lifelong love for skiing, this episode brings listeners closer to the human being behind the champion — a woman who chases her dreams with courage, heart, and uncompromising determination.
