Sofia Goggia immediately out at Kronplatz

Lots of regrets for Sofia Goggia in the Kronplatz giant slalom. The skier from Bergamo, in fact, è was eliminated in the first run due to a fall after about fifteen seconds because of a’slant in a curve to the right that led her to leave the track without physical consequences.

“I made a chicken mistake,” she admitted to RAI microphones. “I went into that bump a little bit straight and slid off. I’m sorry becauseé today I was fine, I was serene, calm and charged: I threw away a beautiful opportunity.

“I don’t è that I slide like thatì often, in the last giant practice I never went out like that;: I didn’t give enough direction on the bump, when I put of edge I saw that I had to give it more; and I put already; the shoe” commented the blue.

Goggia will return to competition in Garmisch, Germany, where a downhill race, Saturday, Jan. 25, and a Super G, Sunday, Jan. 26, are scheduled.

Cagliari armors Gabriele Zappa

Cagliari armors Gabriele Zappa. Through an official statement, the Rossoblù club announced the renewal of the class 1999 defender: “Cagliari Calcio è pleased to announce the contract renewal of Gabriele Zappa, who signed a new agreement until June 30, 2030”.

Born in Monza, class of 1999, who grew up in the youth ranks of Inter, Zappa played his first season in the professionals among the ranks of Pescara (2019-20), to begin his journey in rossoblù from the following season. He thus made his debut with Cagliari on September 20, 2020 in the away draw against Sassuolo: in the 2020-21 championship he collected a total of 34 matches and 4 assists.

After two consecutive seasons in A, a new challenge: to make his own contribution to immediately bring the team back to the top division. He will succeed as a protagonist: among the key men of the defense, after three goals – including his first in rossoblù, scored in the 4-1 home win against Ascoli – on June 11, 2023 in Bari, playoff final, è the creator in the 94th minute of the game of one of the most iconic assists in the history of the club. The kiss cross for Pavoletti is worth the Serie A.

Last season Zappa confirmed his growth, carving out an important role in winning salvation, always on the field in the 38 league games, also embellished by 1 goal, his first in A, in the 2-1 win over Genoa and 3 assists.

Among the team’s captains – 165 games with Cagliari – in this first part of the championship è he was among the players in the squad who totaled the most minutes: è started in the starting eleven in all 21 games, employed both as a third of defense and as an outside player in a 4-man line, with license to disengage forward to support the offensive phase. Tactical intelligence and ductility, memorable the double scored against AC Milan at the Unipol Domus last Nov. 9, the first in his career: the goal of the final 3-3 – right-footed volley to slot under the cross of the posts – is already on the list of the most beautiful of Serie A 2024-25.

“The phone call” è the podcast featuring Adriano Panatta and Paolo Bertolucci, two who made tennis history, not only Italian but also world history with their conquest of the Davis Cup in 1976: a triumph that came in Chile under conditions that were not easy and not only from a sporting point of view.

The two former champions dialogue on various topics but the main dish, of course, è the world of tennis: these days the Australian Open is going on, which still sees in the running, among others, the world number 1, Jannik Sinner.

This round the two have also gone into the world of gossip: “Very pretty è Sinner’s girlfriend (Russian Anna Kalinskaya, ed.), come on. Can youò say or do social media go wild? “, è went to the Panatta joke. “I don’t know if è still engaged” Bertolucci’s response. The exchange è continued on social, with other protagonists, as widely predicted by the diabolical Adriano.
