CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) Olympic downhill champion Sofia Goggia is planning to return from injury this month but remains in doubt for the upcoming world championships.
A spokesman for the Italian Winter Sports Federation says Goggia will participate in downhill training in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, beginning Jan. 24 with an eye toward competing in downhill and super-G races at the German resort on Jan. 26 and 27, respectively.
Goggia broke a bone in her right ankle during a fall in giant slalom training in Hintertux, Austria, in October.
Goggia’s performance in Garmisch will determine if she competes at the worlds in Are, Sweden, which open Feb.
