t-online.de (German) —

Italian ski racer Sofia Goggia has suffered a major setback in her season preparation after contracting a rare double viral infection during a training camp in Ushuaia, Argentina, leaving her with severe symptoms. According to Sky Sport, Goggia was infected with both the Chikungunya virus, likely from a mosquito bite, and Parvovirus B19, which rarely affects adults. She reported joint pain, extreme fatigue, and difficulty climbing stairs. The 33-year-old says the acute phase has passed but she is not fully recovered. There is no targeted treatment, so she must wait for her body to overcome the viruses naturally.
