How Breezy Johnson got the best name in Olympic skiing
Breezy Johnson doesn't have the same fame as her fellow United States skiing star, Lindsey Vonn.
Where do you find a better skiing name than Breezy? Probably nowhere.
Breezy has a chance to make noise at the 2026 Winter Olympics, too, and her name is sure to capture attention if she puts on a good performance.
In high school, Johnson legally changed her first name to Breezy.
Johnson just turned 30 years old and will be hoping to have more Olympics in her future.
For now, she's just trying to breeze down the slopes faster than everyone else.

Breezy Johnson wins Olympic downhill in race marred by Vonn crash
CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy — An American won the women's downhill Sunday, but it wasn't who was expected. Lindsey Vonn's teammate, Breezy Johnson, became the second U.S. woman to win Olympic downhill gold and secured Team USA's first medal at the Milan Cortina Games.
To win on this course today, skiers had to take risks. Johnson skied aggressive lines from top to bottom, and while her run wasn't perfect, she pushed the limits of the course. For some, that led to disaster. Vonn, whose race ended after 14 seconds, was the first of three crashes during the race. She and Andorra's Cande Moreno, her country's flagbearer in Friday's opening ceremony, were both airlifted off the mountain.

U.S. star Lindsey Vonn’s defiant bid for gold ended in a horrible crash early in her downhill skiing run, on Day 2 at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The 41-year-old, who was racing despite a torn ACL and set to compete in two further events at the Games, could be heard screaming in pain after the fall. She received treatment on the course for more than 10 minutes before being airlifted from the mountain by helicopter.
World champion Breezy Johnson had already posted the quickest time by that point, and went on to win gold — Team USA’s first medal of the 2026 Olympics.
