Downhill World Cup leader Goggia breaks leg in training
Italy's 2018 Olympic downhill champion Sofia Goggia suffered a broken leg in training, the Italian Winter Sports Federation (FISI) announced on Monday.
FISI released a statement saying that scans on Monday revealed Goggia had a double fracture of her right tibia.
She was due to undergo surgery later in the day in Milan.
FISI had earlier said the skier "straddled a gate with her right leg in a right-hand turn" in training.
"Turbo Goggia" also won the downhill Olympic silver in 2022 and is the reigning World Cup champion and leader in the discipline this season.
She has 24 World Cup victories, six in super-G the rest in downhill, the most recent in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, in Austria.
This season has brought a string of serious injuries to top skiers.
The women's circuit has already lost two reigning Olympic gold medallists -- Slovakia's slalom titleholder Petra Vlhova and Switzerland's downhill champion Corinne Suter both suffered season-ending knee injuries.
On the men's side, French former overall World Cup champion Alexis Pinturault and Austrian slalom specialist Marco Schwarz were sidelined due to knee injuries.
Norway's 2020 overall World Cup winner, Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde sustained a deep cut to his shin in a crash.
