Congratulations Lucas Pinheiro Braathen!

Congratulations Breezy Johnson!

Breezy Johnson became the second American woman ever to win the Olympic gold medal in downhill skiing Sunday, hours after the first person to accomplish the feat, Lindsey Vonn, crashed violently on the famed Tofane course.

Johnson finished in 1:36.1 to earn the first Olympic medal of her career. A native of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Johnson was skiing in her second Olympics.

The win was not an upset — Johnson entered the competition as the reigning world champion in downhill.
