"Love him so much"
Downhill gold medal followed by marriage proposal for Johnson
In good times and bad: Olympic downhill champion Breezy Johnson crashed in the super-G in Cortina on Thursday, but was still able to take home a title shortly afterwards. She accepted her boyfriend Connor Watkins' marriage proposal in the finish area and is now engaged.
"His words were so beautiful. I just thought about how much I love him," said the American. It had been her dream to get proposed to at the Olympics.
One particularly prominent well-wisher was pop star Taylor Swift. "Congratulations," the singer commented under an Instagram photo showing Johnson with her future husband. She quoted a line from her song "The Alchemy" — actually written with her fiancé Travis Kelce and his recent Super Bowl triumph in mind: "Where's the trophy? He just comes running to me."
"What a week!"
Lindsey Vonn, who was seriously injured in a fall during the downhill race, also sent her congratulations. She said she was very happy for her teammate – "what a week."
Johnson is also world champion in the downhill and team combined. However, her hopes of another Olympic medal were not fulfilled in Cortina: despite setting the fastest time in the downhill alongside ski queen Mikaela Shiffrin, she finished fourth in the team combined. In the super-G, she was already eliminated in the qualifying round.
