09.02.2026 18:20 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Team USA picks up another gold. This time in Figure Skating. It's the second consecutive gold medal for Team USA in the team Figure Skating.
2 Medals for team USA!!! Both Golds!!!
Just thinking about how incredible Breezy Johnson's story is. She missed the Olympics back in 2022 due to a severe knee injury that she suffered on the same course she won gold.
UNREAL STUFF.
#TEAMUSA
What an effort by Breezy Johnson. Gold in the Downhill!! She became the first US woman to win gold since Vonn back in 2010
However, gutted for Lindsay Vonn. Wish her a speedy recovery
So Lindsey Vonn is going to ski with a ruptured ACL at 41. Meanwhile, I'm in my 20's and when I walk around my ankle and knee feel awful.
If she wins a medal. That would be insane!!!!!
Born in Syracuse, yet adorning the ๐๐๐
