Four years ago, a crash in Cortina kept Breezy Johnson from competing at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Now, she has conquered the course for Olympic gold.
The 30-year-old from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, won gold in the women’s downhill with a time of 1:36.10.
Johnson is the second American woman to win Olympic gold in the event, joining 2010 champion Lindsey Vonn, who crashed on Sunday and was airlifted from the course.
Johnson’s win gives Team USA its first medal of the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics.
