US Downhill Racer Breezy Johnson Forced Out of Olympics With Knee Injury

Johnson wrote that in Cortina she “immediately felt a massive crack in my knee” and had dislodged cartilage.

“I was given the option to try to compete on it. But I don’t think that that is realistic or smart,” she said.“It was the pleasure of my life to represent @teamusa at the Games in 2018,” Johnson said. “And all I have wanted ever since was to come back, stronger, faster, to win a gold medal.” The women’s downhill is scheduled for Feb. 15. Goggia, who has won four of five World Cup races, is also an uncertain starter after two crashes in January.

Being born in Vermont doesn’t automatically make someone a maple syrup expert, but helping build a family syrup business certainly does. Olympian Ryan Cochran-Siegle is an expert at three things: syrup, skiing and the pain that often comes with crashing.
