Washington state athletes earn medals
Western Washington University alumna Breezy Johnson won the women’s downhill gold medal with a time of 1 minute, 36.10 seconds to win Team USA’s first medal at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics.
A few days later, Johnson lost out on the podium to Jackie Wiles and her teammate Paula Moltzan, who shared a bronze medal in the alpine skiing women’s team mixed event. Although she hails from Portland, Ore., the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association calls Wiles “a complete product of the Pacific Northwest Ski Association.”
Johnson won in another way, though, with her boyfriend waiting to propose to her at the base of her super-G. She will return to the United States with a gold medal and a silver ring.
