Shiffrin, Johnson Lead U.S. Charge in Olympic Women’s Team Combined Debut

The United States anchors its effort in the new Olympic women’s team combined with Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin, a format that pairs a downhill run with a slalom to crown the fastest total time. Johnson and Shiffrin previously won the event at the 2025 World Championships, and Shiffrin is the most decorated World Cup racer ever. The U.S. fields four duos in total, facing strong competition from Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The event is streamed on Peacock and NBCOlympics.com, with downhill action followed by slalom.

Organizers say replacement plans are being considered, and this echoes a prior wave of medal replacements after Paris 2024.

Breezy Johnson clinches Olympic downhill gold as Vonn crashes

Breezy Johnson won the women's downhill at the Milan-Cortina Olympics, giving the United States its first gold of the Games, after Lindsey Vonn crashed on her opening run and suffered a left‑leg fracture. Johnson, who has overcome injuries and a doping ban, finished in 1:36.10 to beat Emma Aicher by four hundredths of a second, and she joined Vonn as one of the two American women to win Olympic downhill gold. Johnson celebrated by tucking the medal away after it broke off its ribbon.

Johnson Sparks U.S. Medal Hopes With Fastest Cortina Downhill Training

Breezy Johnson posted the fastest time in the final downhill training in Cortina, giving the U.S. a strong shot at a medal at the Milan–Cortina Olympics. With her body fit and mindset sharp, she heads into the Olympic downhill as a genuine podium contender, a race margin sharpened by the memory of tearing her ACL at the same venue four years earlier.
