Feb 1 (Reuters) - Italy’s Olympic downhill champion Sofia Goggia will miss her home world championships in Cortina d’Ampezzo after suffering a knee injury in Germany at the weekend.
The Italian ski federation (FISI) said after scans in Milan that the season was over for the 28-year-old, who has won the last four women’s World Cup downhills and would have been a favourite in Cortina.
Goggia is also leading the World Cup downhill standings, 195 points clear of American Breezy Johnson.
The world championships at the Italian Dolomite resort are scheduled to run from Feb. 8-21.
