Sofia Goggia is on a mission for medals as she prepares for her home Winter Olympics, where the Italian speed specialist will be hunting for gold on one of her favorite pistes.

Goggia, the downhill champion at the 2018 Games and silver medalist in the same discipline four years ago, will be one of the main contenders for gold in Cortina d¡¯Ampezzo even though so far she is having a low-key season by her standards.

The 33-year-old is yet to win a downhill race this season but over her career, she has triumphed in the discipline four times on the Olimpia delle Tofane piste, more than on any other slope.
