Vonn crashed, but the U.S. medal chances didn't. Breezy Johnson made sure of that. On what was a difficult day for U.S. skiing fans, with Vonn wiping out on her downhill run and being airlifted away from the course, Johnson was golden. Johnson had already completed her run before Vonn and done it in 1:36.10.
“Don’t jump in them. I was jumping in excitement, and it broke," women's downhill ski gold medalist Johnson said after her win Sunday. "I’m sure somebody will fix it. It’s not crazy broken, but a little broken.”
