Goggia -- who was wearing a helmet -- eventually landed and slid headfirst down the mountain before finally coming to a complete stop.she suffered a left knee strain, a partial tear in her cruciate ligament and a small fibula fracture.Goggia's rehabilitation will start on Monday as she's determined to defend her downhill gold medal title at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing ... which happens on Feb. 15.
"It's a shame that this injury comes in a very important moment of the season," Goggia said,"but in the next few hours I'll start the physio treatment so I can try to defend my title in the discipline I love the most."
