Italian alpine skier Sofia Goggia will miss the start of the World Cup season in Sölden, Austria, following a double viral infection. After cutting her training camp in Ushuaia, Argentina, short due to persistent fatigue, medical examinations confirmed she contracted the Chikungunya virus via an infected mosquito, followed by Parvovirus B19.

Goggia reported severe symptoms, including intense joint pain, neurological issues, leg tremors, and extreme exhaustion, noting that she was once unable to climb stairs. While she has passed the acute phase of the illnesses, she continues to experience fluctuating levels of fatigue and weakness.

The athlete has begun a gradual physical recovery process, including light training sessions in Sicily with trainer Matteo Artina. However, she has confirmed she requires more time to overcome the effects of the viruses before she can return to racing, leaving her availability for the season opener on October 24 uncertain.
