if exactly a year ago at this time me
they said sofia will make a big one
season
you will get three podiums in the world cup
I would have immediately signed eyes closed
I felt the summer inside me
last of making choices that I have
they had led to a degree of
greater awareness but never ever
I would have expected to make 11 podiums two
wins and get the only medal
at the world championships in the expedition
from alpine skiing is only when things
they end up realizing it really
their value is able to have one
complete holistic vision from the whole e
I realized I did one
great season one season
extraordinary striking only in the final
after making the last podium
at the last race on March 19, podium that
among other things, also shared with two
my other companions and brignone bassino
we did the italian ump len is
It was an incredible day when I was there
result at that time I raised the
arms to the sky and that was the
final gesture of this magnificent mine
season and I knew inside of me that before
to be able to do that sign again for
I would have to wait months
next season
at that moment I really realized
that my season was over
I did not know what he would have me
waited shortly thereafter, even if to say
the truth some coaches had me
warned that once back in
Italy probably will have had a
media assault not indifferent
I had always taken a while the law goes
anyway their words why
after all, she managed to live with one
cell phones kept ringing from the
second until the last race continuing
to always do my races giving the best
of me every day I tell you that 20
March I did not even have time to
land to malpensa to withdraw mine
suitcases that already a car was me
escorting to a press conference a
Milan on five hours in one
terrace to answer the thousand questions
of journalists mostly all the same
I was then taken to a living room
fat TV evening and the morning after
at 7 am I was already in
connection via facetime and in
another less telecast
one day less than they are
twenty-four hours have entered that
that I define the vortex when there
you enter the vortex you notice it but
unavoidable
while underestimating him because after eight
months then always the same things are
always the same routine always see them
same people breakfast lunch dinner you
train with the same girls as they are
a little family moved from one
ski resort and the other in
continuation
the type vortex leads you to make some
new things, different experiences that come out
from your field of action you meet people
that you would never have thought to meet in
your life and if it will be a curious person
like me who allures in the vortex is
very risky and you know it because everyone
everyone wants you all
they really want a part of you for i
results that achieved the results
which is a life I work to get
these results
the vortex of the beginning a sense of
happiness but when it passes you stay
the void is truly empty
I have decided to merge all of them
commitments in April immediately after the
season and then not too many
interference when I would have resumed the
athletic training for this
season that is about to come
the vortex but hit in full like
a gigantic wave that has broken me
on me and I have not failed to
make use of the change because this
Once the change has been too much
radical after all in one season
obtained I think so many results how many
those for which a decent skier is
would consider satisfied looking
back at the end of the career
I’ve gotten all these results in
one season without having done
not even a minimum podium before mine
life has changed from so to so on
change was radicalism and more
radical change the more you owe
know how to adapt them to the new situation
just that I made the mistake of making myself
overwhelm when I was in that wave in
that vortex was really overwhelmed
suck from the vortex neo in the eye of the
cyclone I lost contact with me
same with reality has been difficult
but the vortex after all I had it
because it was the natural consequence
of what I have done so many of
what I did good things
excellent results results for how
a life that I work and then what you do
when you know the vortex is there
always in count and the new dimension in
where you will have to live, try to start again
from those awareness from which the
vortex itself tries to get away from you
the same part circles exactly
as I did
February 16th 2017 between the first and
the second run of the giant dei
I came to the world championships
this year no longer by outsiders but by
favorite are the first Italian where he has
made podium in four disciplines on
five
I had failed super g so also the
defense the giant combo was the last one
cartridge that I had the last chance me
I’m placed between the first and the second
manche when I still close second
at the starting gate up to the
network I watched the athletes go down first
of me and I looked inside and I have
talked to this girl who is me and
I said to myself the arrests never said of
to be here
at the world championships to be able to play the
your dream is here now go get out of that
pound sign tries to circulate that joy
it goes without distinguishing from
that passion that to the pc without having it
fear of making mistakes without fear of
win without being afraid of being
judge why already being here is a
success then do it for yourself for yours
passion for your enjoyment
for Italy I managed to from that
gate has made the medal
exactly like that little vortex
that I had February where I had
a lot of pressure because I had the
weight of a nation on shoulders
clearly that my other companions though
many eyes were focused on me in
that moment, watching the others go down
thinking talking to this girl
I managed to mix them near
inside me
two worlds that mentally opposed the
pressure that I had and the passion is
just like that day I am
managed to get a medal starting from
this girl
the passion was awareness
from which I left to leave the
vortex because without this passion
that you probably will not notice in
this little girl who smiles happy that
to cup in hand without this passion
I would not be here today and without that
passion that is the indomitable force that gives
always pushes us pushing her pushes me
she dreamed of iodine goals not
we would be here without the then clear passion
I’m a 25 year old girl now
I’m a mature athlete and for how long
the athlete inserted in the systems of the
team federation of
membership is protected by their must
have a very good degree of
resourcefulness and this I tell you
because at some point to the athlete
matula in the awareness room of knowing
just him what is the best for you if you have to
be enterprising you must have eyes
new must have an open mind ready
to make you catch small nuances
small details that can be done
great differences and this I tell you
because because in a penny of
according to which it is nothing a penny of
according to sometimes the difference between the
glory and oblivion
and nothing but everything and I play the game
my life
on this small and fragile border e
besides, clearly you must be
extremely concrete because once
that there to be firm entrepreneurs
from the goals
you have to work daily for day
day to try the mind to do the
your best for those who are the
goals of the day
I get up in the morning I look at the
I wonder what I’m in the mirror
prefixed to do today will really be
the best route of approach
towards my goals
and this I also share with all of it
staff of people who help me to
realize and achieve my dream
this is my life my life is
really changed a lot
What will you wait for me now?
now I have learned to live with
vortex rather well it means that there
it will always be good results but the
reality is that despite my life
the essence of mine has changed a lot
always life that always made of dreams
goals and work the vortex seeks
always putting on me a lot
pressure
think that I ‘ve been living together for months now
with questions from journalists who me
they ask sofia, you will be able to reconfirm yourself
next season
or sofia goggia won the only two
World cup competitions that you are
disputed on the pre-Olympic track
incre ansa is the favorite for the
Olympic Games
I live with these questions
with this vortex but I took one thing
reading the book of nadia comaneci one
of my favorite letters to ayane
gymnastic that the pressure does not exist
pressure you are only at the moment
you decide to focus on things
glasses that you have to do then every
day I try to focus on
you know and now what’s next furnaces
there is always this the gate the
gate from which I went out when I was 8
years and the world cup gate
that maybe on the pinocchio of the skis for the
social race or for the world cup is
always the same and I, however, departing
always this gesture
right now I’m here is mine
ritual really helps me to concentrate
on the essential things I have to do in
that moment because I can not
let me think of something else
but not because I do not want to think of
other because I want to concentrate only on myself
about the things I have to do in that
moment
this is what I want mine
goal for the next season will be
always to introduce myself to the
quiet little gate aware and me
I really hope to be always in me
same and in the moment my life is
radically changed the dimension in
I live in the vortex is now changed to
my travel companion but what
remains are my dreams and mine
passion
thank you
[Applause]
